Big news! Applied Net® 2026 is heading to the historic, vibrant streets of Washington, DC, for the first time ever. Join thousands of insurance professionals at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center from September 28 to October 1, 2026, for four unforgettable days of learning, connection, and growth.
Guided by this year’s theme, Intelligent Insurance Ecosystem, Applied Net 2026 will focus on how Applied Systems® is infusing artificial intelligence (AI) across agent and carrier workflows to enable smarter decisions, faster execution, and a more unified, intelligent insurance experience.
Applied Net is the flagship conference for users of Applied Systems, EZLynx®, and Ivans® technology – and a cornerstone event for the independent insurance ecosystem. Co‑hosted by Applied Systems and the Applied Client Network (ACN), Applied Net uniquely blends technology insight, peer‑driven education, and real‑world application.
What truly sets Applied Net apart from other insurance conferences? It’s built by the user community, not just vendors. Sessions are shaped by the challenges agencies face every day and led by peers and experts who understand the realities of the business. The result is a conference experience that feels practical, relevant, and refreshingly authentic.
Absolutely! Even though “Applied” is in the name, this conference is built for EZLynx users.
We’ve carved out a dedicated EZLynx Zone: your home base for educational sessions, hands-on learning at the EZLynx Support and Optimization Bar, and unprecedented networking with agencies just like yours.
As the number of EZLynx users continues to grow each year, we keep enhancing the experience, so the conference truly feels tailored for you.
Applied Net 2026 offers 250+ sessions across case studies, panels, hands-on labs, and peer-led courses. For EZLynx users, that includes a dedicated EZLynx Management System™ track with training across the platform, from quoting and submissions to automation, digital payments, and AI-driven workflows.
Sessions are led by EZLynx experts and agencies like yours, people who have solved the same problems you may have and are ready to share what worked. You’ll head home with ideas you can use immediately. Roundtable discussions also let you share feedback directly with the EZLynx team and help shape what comes next.
