Yes. When an event has been advertised as "educational," discussing plan-specific premiums is impermissible.

Explanation:

Educational events have the sole purpose of providing participants with learning on a particular subject. These events can be aimed at students, professionals, or lay people interested in training or being informed about a subject or area. In this type of event, it is not allowed to advertise or discuss awards related to the subscription of any service. For this reason, we can say that Agent Jennings did a prohibited activity at an event advertised as educational, because discussing specific plan awards is inadmissible in such an event.
