LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AM Best will exhibit at the Managing General Agents’ Association (MGAA) annual conference, which will take place 29 June 2022 at etc.Venues Houndsditch in London.

During the full-day event, AM Best representatives will be available at booth No. 4 to discuss its new Performance Assessments for Delegated Underwriting Authority Enterprises (DUAEs).
