50th Annual Insurance Tax Conference 2025 | Insurance Tax Conference | 4 November 2025 | Hyatt Regency New Orleans, 601 Loyola Ave, New Orleans, LA 70113, USA

The Insurance Tax Conference (ITC) by Edward M. Burgh as a group that would meet periodically to allow insurance tax professionals to exchange information and ideas and to establish professional relationships with other individuals in the insurance tax industry. Its first meeting was attended by approximately a dozen insurance tax professionals. The need to exchange ideas in a more formal fashion led to the first Insurance Tax Conference Annual Seminar in 1976.

ITC was originally founded on the premise that it was important for insurance tax professionals to present a united front to the Internal Revenue Service on tax issues of importance to the insurance industry. This was necessary, not only because of the complexity of the tax laws as it applied to insurance companies, but also because the insurance industry was changing rapidly. The use of new products and ever-changing ways of taxing those products and the industry in general results in an increased emphasis on tax planning for many companies. ITC provides a forum for the presentation and discussion of new and ongoing issues of importance to the insurance industry by the most experienced insurance tax professionals and experts.
