Optional Sessions - CPPC 2023 Convention

        Military Roundtable; Repair Only Meeting or Carrier, Agent & Insurance Meeting

Due to popular demand and the need sometimes for extra time to discuss topics; we offer optional meetings outside the regular Schedule to accommodate our attendee needs.  The Military Round Table will be from 8AM to 11AM and the other two sessions will be from 9AM to 11AM.

However, we are seeking sponsorship for these meetings. Details available under separate cover.
