Our YP Monthly Luncheon will be held on Wed., Sept. 17, 2025, 11:30 am - 1 pm. Our YP September Luncheon presenter will be Ben Conner, CEO, Conner Insurance.

Ben is presenting, "The Professional Growth Equation". Hear how our professional growth is found in a simple equation around personal disciplines that we all have the ability to master.

After graduating with a finance degree from Indiana Wesleyan University in 2006, Ben joined his family business, Conner Insurance, as an insurance advisor. His strengths in strategic planning, finance, and communication quickly established him as a top advisor in the firm and the US. By his late 20s, he was working with some of Indiana's largest companies.

Promoted to CEO in 2013, Ben and his partners acquired Conner Insurance in 2015, and have since doubled its revenue and expanded to over 50 employees. His clients have seen exceptional health plan performance, with many of them experiencing flat or reduced healthcare expenses over the last 5-10 years. Under his leadership, Conner Insurance has been recognized multiple times as one of America's Healthiest Workplaces and Best Places to Work in Indiana.

Ben has received several prestigious industry awards, including Most Innovative Healthcare Consultant in 2023 at the YOU Powered Symposium and was a finalist for the Broker of the Year award in 2020 by BenefitsPro. In 2021, he was honored as a Forty under 40 recipient by the Indianapolis Business Journal.

Ben lives in Indianapolis with his wife, Alyssa, and their three daughters. He enjoys reading, playing and watching sports, traveling, and spending time with his family.
