Arizona Tribune - AmeriLife Returns as Medicarians' Title Sponsor, Showcasing the Power of Its Connected Ecosystem

CLEARWATER, FL / ACCESS Newswire / April 20, 2026 / AmeriLife Group, LLC ("AmeriLife"), a national leader in developing, marketing, and distributing life and health insurance, annuities, and retirement planning solutions, today announced its return as a title sponsor of Medicarians 2026, taking place April 20-22 at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas, for the fifth consecutive year. Under the theme "Coded for Partnership, Built for Scale," AmeriLife will showcase its connected ecosystem, a model built not on a single platform or one-size-fits-all approach, but on a federated model that draws upon AmeriLife's shared infrastructure, capital, and scale.

"Our presence at Medicarians reflects who we are as an organization: a partnership-driven ecosystem where distinct, independent brands operate as one connected network," said Scotty Elliott, Chief Distribution Officer for Health at AmeriLife. "The independent agent is the lifeblood of our industry, and AmeriLife continues to experience remarkable growth because we remain committed to being advocates and fighters for every agent we serve. Being present at Medicarians isn't just important, it's essential to maintain our role as the industry's strongest voice for agent independence and success."

One Network. Many Engines. Unified by AmeriLife.

At Medicarians, AmeriLife will put its federated model on full display. Each affiliate in the AmeriLife network operates with its own purpose-built tools, technologies, and go-to-market strategies. This is independence powered by scale: flexibility at the edge with strength at the center, enabling speed, specialization, and performance without sacrificing enterprise alignment. This year's Medicarians will feature attendance from nearly two dozen AmeriLife Health affiliate companies, with nine maintaining dedicated booths alongside LeadStar Powered by EnrollHere and AmeriLife Marketing Mentors within and around a unified footprint:

• Agent Boost Marketing with Senior Market Advisors

• AmeriLife Marketing Group

• BROCK

• Grupo Latinoamericano de Seguros

• JSA

• Pinnacle Financial Services

• Precision Senior Marketing

• Network Insurance

Together, they represent the full breadth of what it means to operate within the AmeriLife connected ecosystem. Attendees are invited to meet these partner organizations face-to-face and experience firsthand how each company delivers on the agent experience - from proprietary tools and marketing support to technology solutions and client management - united under a platform designed for independence and backed by AmeriLife.

"Medicarians is the industry's preeminent gathering, and this year we're bringing a refreshed and truly unified presence that reflects both our growth and our values," said Ovi Vitas, Chief Marketing Officer of AmeriLife. "Every element of our experience - from the connected booth design and the proprietary technology tools on display to our thought leadership programming and media engagement - has been designed to show what our model actually looks like in practice. AmeriLife isn't just participating in this industry's future. We're building the infrastructure for it, alongside the partners who trust us every day."

Agent-First Leadership: Education, Advocacy and Action

AmeriLife's commitment to the independent agent extends throughout the conference programming, with seven unique panels and roundtables designed to address the most pressing issues facing today's health insurance professionals.

The centerpiece of this educational leadership is a flagship sponsored session presented in partnership with the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA), entitled "Advocacy on the Front Lines: United to Defend and Future-Proof the Agent Model." This powerful session, taking place Tuesday, April 21, brings together advocacy groups, carriers, IMOs, distributors, and agents in a unified call to action, showcasing collaborative efforts to preserve consumer choice and strengthen the agent-centric distribution model for the long term.

"The independent agent model is the backbone of how Americans select, access, and understand their health coverage options, and protecting the role of the agent requires all of us to stand together and speak with one voice," said Bryan Keeven, panel co-moderator and president, Health Distribution-Product for AmeriLife. "This session with NAIFA brings the right people into the room to share real strategies, real wins, and concrete next steps our industry can act on today. AmeriLife is proud to help lead that charge, and I encourage every attendee to make this a must-attend moment of the conference."
