The Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) is around the corner, and right now is an important time to prepare for the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.
Beginning August 18, Tidewater Management Group’s AEP Roadshows will travel across Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, bringing together agents, carrier partners, and industry experts for a day of education, strategy, and connection. Whether you’re a seasoned agent or preparing for your first AEP, these sessions will help you hit the ground running when the annual enrollment season begins on October 15.
Why Attend an AEP Roadshow?
The Annual Enrollment Period moves fast, and success often comes down to preparation done before the season even begins. Our Roadshows are built to equip agents with the latest information, practical sales strategies, compliance updates, and carrier insights needed to enter AEP with confidence.
From plan changes and market trends to growth opportunities and networking, attendees will gain valuable knowledge they can immediately apply to their business.
Get Critical Updates Before Your Competition
The healthcare space continues to evolve, making it more important than ever for agents to stay informed.
“Each new year brings changes and opportunities to the industry. 2027 will be no exception,” says Ronnie James. “Cut through the static and attend one of our events, where facts will be given that will help set you apart from the competition.”
Agents attending will receive timely updates on plan details, market developments, and key information that can help them better serve their clients during AEP.
Learn from Industry Leaders
Our Roadshows feature presentations from experienced Tidewater team leaders who work alongside agents throughout the year and understand what it takes to succeed in today’s market.
John Elliott looks forward to sharing actionable insights with attendees.
“One of the things that makes our AEP Roadshows special is the level of commitment I see from agents every year. Many of them are driving several hours to attend because they know the value of spending a day focused on their business before AEP kicks off,” says Elliott. “As a presenter, I always look forward to sharing sales strategies, growth opportunities, and lessons I’ve learned from working with agents across multiple markets.”
Hear Directly from Carriers
One of the greatest advantages of attending a Roadshow is the opportunity to hear directly from carrier representatives.
Kristi Bell emphasizes the importance of receiving these updates.
“Our AEP Roadshows are such a great way to get the yearly updates and changes from carriers, explore new plan options, and learn important compliance updates,” Bell says. “It’s always a great kickoff to help our agents and agency partners plan for the upcoming AEP season.”
This direct access to carriers allows agents to ask questions, gain clarity on product changes, and better understand how to position plans in their markets.
Connect with Fellow Agents and the Tidewater Team
Our Roadshows aren’t just about presentations…They’re also an opportunity to build relationships with fellow agents and the Tidewater team.
“One of my favorite parts of our AEP Roadshows is getting the chance to connect face-to-face with so many of the agents we work with throughout the year,” says Logan Boggis. “There’s always great energy in the room, and it’s an opportunity to share ideas, learn from each other, and prepare for a successful AEP.” Boggis is especially excited for one presentation in particular. “I’m especially looking forward to Ronnie James’ session, where he’ll be breaking down the latest plan details and highlighting the changes agents need to know heading into the selling season. If you’re serious about being ready for AEP, you won’t want to miss it.”
A Community Focused on Helping Beneficiaries
At the heart of every Roadshow is a shared commitment to serving Medicare beneficiaries with excellence.
“What makes our AEP Roadshows special is seeing our entire community come together in one room,” says Chad Wilkerson. “Agents, carrier partners, and the Tidewater team all share a common purpose: helping beneficiaries find the coverage that best fits their needs. These events are a great reminder that none of us do this alone. The relationships we’ve built with our carrier partners allow us to provide valuable insights, resources, and support that ultimately help agents better serve their clients.”
Don’t Miss Out
The agents who consistently perform as top producers know that success starts long before AEP begins. That’s why hundreds of agents across Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina make our AEP Roadshows a priority every year.
With our first event just days away, there’s still time to reserve your seat. Join us for a day packed with carrier updates, sales strategies, compliance guidance, networking opportunities, and the insights you need to stay ahead of the competition.
