Learn from Industry Experts

The ACA is excited to announce we will provide 1 or 2 live training events each year that is driven by claim's challenges or feedback from the field regarding the current claim season. These live events are in partnership with our wonderful sponsors, member companies, and subject matter experts in their respective field. The ACA will provide 1 to 2 day events using a wide variety of education and training techniques designed to send you back into the field or workspace with the ability to apply what you learned immediately along with resources and POCs that you can reach out when you need assistance. The objectives are aimed at comprehension and application, not just building knowledge. We hope to see you there for these important events.

You can call 866.215.9274 or email us at info@agclaimsassociation.com if you have questions or we can be any assistance.

IMPORTANT NOTES: To finalize registration for an event requires an account with the ACA. The account is free, it is not membership, and the process is relatively short so click the register button at the top of the webpage and await an email confirming your account is approved before registering for an event.

Do not create a new account if you forgot your password, your request will be rejected; use the forgot password function built into the login screen to reset your password.

This is the first training installment for the 2025 claim season. We have expanded the aims and goals from previous grain bin events to create a course to prepare adjusters and underwriters/agents to conduct an actual inspection, document the results, and outline the steps needed to complete the process. Training will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. EDT in Indianapolis Westfield, Indiana. The morning will be in the classroom and the afternoon will be spent with experts at a nearby grain bin site; lunch is included during the event. The event is limited to 24 participants so don't wait. This is the second iteration of this course and the first was very successful. We have applied for 6 CE for the course.

If you are not familiar with the basics of grain bins (e.g., terms, components, etc.), you are strongly encouraged to take the Grain Storage and Material Handling Course or the Grain Bin Scoping Overview; see below for additional information. Without the basic knowledge of grain bins, you may find it difficult to comprehend the details and fully benefit from the practical exercises/scenario based activities. 

This event will be back in the fall of 2026 so stay tuned. In the meantime, enjoy the video from this year's live event in Westfield, IN.
