General Session #1: Talk Triggers
Turn Your Customers Into Volunteer Marketers Word of mouth is responsible for as much as 50% of all
purchases, yet almost nobody has an actual plan to generate it. In this fast-paced, dynamic, modern presentation Jay Baer presents you with a simple, yet critical choice: do you want to be the same, or do you want to be different? When you offer a differentiated, talkable customer experience, it compels conversation. And when customers talk, they recruit new customers…for free.

General Session #2: A History of the Financial Crisis and Lessons Learned for the Future
With the advent of the financial crisis in 2008 and the role that the federal government played to put the U.S. economy on the road to recovery, what did we learn from that process and how can we plan for continued stability? As one of the original members of the U.S. Department of the Treasury/Federal Reserve Transition Team and then Treasurer of the United States for the following seven years, Treasurer Rios provides her perspectives on lessons learned from her tenure during one of the most consequential times of our nation’s economic history.

Workshop #1: Understanding the Medicare Taxes
With the passage of new health care legislation in late March of 2010 – now upheld by the Supreme Court – Congress has implemented a series of new Medicare taxes on both earned and unearned income, starting in 2013. In this session, we will explore the technical rules that will apply to both of the new taxes, and explore the planning implications and potential techniques to manage or mitigate the impact of the tax now that it took effect in 2013.

Workshop #2: Ordinary/Capital Gains Tax Planning or Asset Protection
Now is the time to plan for future capital gains and asset protection. When most advisors think of capital gains planning, they think in terms of either Section 1031 exchanges or charitable remainder trusts. We have a series of other techniques available to reduce, defer or eliminate the capital gains. Of course, the most effective of such techniques depends on (1) planning ahead and (2) the nature of the asset being sold. The earlier the clients engage in planning, the more options are available. In fact, Section 453(e), the best type of capital gains planning, requires at least a two-year incubation period. Also, there are structures available to reduce a client’s income tax and provide the client with protection against future creditors. In this workshop, structures to reduce, defer or eliminate capital gains, income tax planning for individuals and their “S” corporations will be discussed, along with creditor protection with the use of limited partnerships, LLCs, irrevocable children’s trusts, and QPRTs.

Workshop #4: Your High-Net-Worth Client Strategy: It’s What They Want, Not What You Know
Did you know that ten percent of high-net-worth (HNW) investors—even those who claim they’re satisfied with their primary advisor—plan to switch some or all of their business in the next 12 months? For HNW clients, it’s not about what you know. It’s about what they want, and whether they trust you to provide it. In this presentation you’ll learn how to service HNW clients, and get techniques to help keep them. We’ll discuss why HNW investors may leave – even when they’re satisfied, what is means to truly understand their needs, how to earn your HNW client’s trust, and how to create a service model that focuses on making your client experience personal.

Workshop #7: A Roadmap for Fixed Income Investing in a Low Rate Environment
Passively managed vehicles have grown exponentially over the past decade, buoyed by low fees, ease of use, and robust returns. But with yields at all-time lows, the risk of indexed strategies has steadily increased. If rates remain near current levels, then all is well. But if 2019’s historic fixed income rally is a short-term phenomenon (e.g., a bubble), passive vehicles could struggle.
During the presentation, Eddy Vataru, a portfolio manager experienced in passive, active and absolute return strategies, will review each approach and evaluate them in the context of the current environment. Additionally, he will discuss the benefits and risks of both quantitative and fundamental investment disciplines. Finally, he will share his outlook for the investment-grade fixed income market.

General Session #3: Inspire Integrity: Chase An Authentic Life (Ethics)
Corey’s most popular keynote on ethics encourages audiences to chase the truly important things in life such as a solid character, strong personal relationships and a sense of contentment. These “real rabbits” are compared and contrasted to more fleeting worldly success such as excessive wealth, popularity, and prestige. Audience members leave with a better sense of what it takes to develop integrity, set priorities, gain a big-picture perspective, and chase an authentic life. By the end, Corey promises that this will be one of the most powerful and motivational speeches you have ever heard.
