"This conference is the first, and remains the largest actual, live event of its kind, because it represents the greatest opportunity for advisors and industry professionals to gather, meet and share knowledge on what has become the hottest topic in the industry. It also represents the intersection of the Financial Advisor and Private Wealth audiences, which includes financial and wealth advisors, family offices and the centers of influence who serve and collaborate with them," says David Smith, founding publisher of both magazines. "It is designed both for advisors who target mainstream investors, as well as those who are advising the high net worth and the ultra-affluent. It's also the first event to integrate access to traditional and innovative liquid products with non-traditional products, and focus on the convergence of corresponding solutions and strategies."
