PHOENIX, Aug. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Advisor Group, the nation's largest network of independent wealth management firms, today successfully concluded the fourth annual NxG Conference, a two-day virtual experience for top-performing financial professionals in the first 15 years of their careers. The event featured workshops, discussion groups and networking opportunities to develop skill sets, learn from peers and build enduring businesses.
Greg Cornick, President of Advice and Wealth Management at Advisor Group, said, "The innovative, customer-centric growth strategies discussed during our NxG Conference highlight the incredible talent of our next-generation financial advisor community. Advisor Group is proud to stand in the corner of these passionate and dedicated advisors as they build their practices and deliver a second-to-none service experience for their clients for years to come."
Discussions of purposeful leadership and community engagement helped focus the conference on the significant issues facing today's young financial advisors and their clients. During his keynote address, Zach Mercurio, an author, coach and executive-leadership consultant, discussed how to forge a purposeful mindset, develop contribution-centered habits and create an enduring legacy. During the event's second keynote, Caitlin Schaefer, an associate with Lord, Abbett & Co., shared ways to build meaningful, long-term relationships with current and prospective clients through community engagement.
This year's NxG Conference featured "Braindates," small brainstorming and problem-solving sessions aimed at harnessing the collective expertise and experience of the advisors in these meetings. Topics and questions were crowdsourced and developed by conference attendees with support from Advisor Group practice management experts. Additionally, dozens of attendees delivered short presentations about specific challenges, opportunities and solutions they have faced within their practices in recent years.
