CHICAGO, Nov. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Industry leaders Joel Bruckenstein, David Drucker and Bill Winterberg hosted the first-ever T3 Enterprise Conference. Held at the Westin Hotel O'Hare in Chicago, November 3-5, 2013, the maiden conference, whose goal was to bring together independent broker/dealer and large RIA decision-makers with businesses that offer technology solutions, attracted more than 240 registrants and sold out all of its 35 booth spaces.

"The conference exceeded our expectations," said conference co-chair David Drucker, CFP®. "We had only hoped to attract between 75-100 attendees and we far exceeded that number.  In addition, exhibitors were excited to get in front of the decision makers at independent broker/dealers and large RIAs and to offer their solutions. The excitement was so great that, sadly, we had to turn away sponsors."

The conference had a three-to-one ratio of decision makers to sponsors and attracted some of the top executives in the industry including Chief Technology Officers, Chief Compliance Officers, COOs, CIOs and CEOs. 

"The event provided an ideal opportunity for broker/dealer executives, chief technology officers and heads of larger RIA firms to meet with technology solutions providers in an intimate setting," said long-time CFP® and co-host Joel Bruckenstein. "We are looking forward to the next conference, which we expect will be bigger and better than the first."

"This was a by-invitation-only event," said Marie Swift, president and CEO of Impact Communications, who helped with conference publicity and media relations. "Due to the high-caliber executives attending the conference sessions and special executive roundtables offered by our media partner, Investment News, the meeting planning company warned us that some non-qualified folks had tried to register for and attend the event. Thankfully, only a couple non-qualified people showed up and made their case for admittance."
