Investments & Wealth Strategy Forum—the Event for Advisors Dedicated to Growing, Stewarding and Preserving the Wealth of Their Clients—to be Held November 28-30, 2023, in New York City

DENVER, CO (November 2, 2023) The Investments & Wealth Institute (IWI), has just announced the complete agenda for its 25th annual Strategy Forum. The event this year will feature over thirty speakers—cutting-edge practitioners, as well as industry and academic experts—and cover advanced strategies for advisors who are not content with the status quo, driven to push their boundaries, and seek further successful outcomes for HNW clients.

“The world in which financial advisors are operating in today is filled with increasing uncertainty and complexity—and distilling all the needs and concerns that clients have into an actionable plan for them can be quite a daunting challenge,” said Eric Flett, chief executive officer and president, Concentric Wealth Management, as well as the Strategy Forum committee chair. “The programming at this event—which has reflected the current state of the industry every year throughout its 25-year history—is designed for advisors who are savvy enough to understand that they need to confront those current unknowns to optimize the health of their business and the wealth of their clients.”

Registration is now open for this three-day in-person event, which will be held November 28-30, 2023, at the New York Marriott Marquis. Registration is $1,495, and members of IWI who are Signature or Elite status members may register at a significant discount. More than 300 advisors are expected to attend the event.
