Join Them: Think Bigger with 21 Top Advisors

There are big sweet spots for advisors and clients who focus on the right issues in the financial services, and 21 influential movers and shakers from both sides of the Canada – US border will embellish on them this fall at the annual Distinguished Advisor Conference to be held in the Texas Hills, near Austin, November 9 – 12.

“This conference, now in its 11th year, takes leading wealth advisors from across our nation to the places their clients go to retire;  to analyze and think strategically about the right advice for these families in the global environment in which they participate,”  says Evelyn Jacks, founder of the conference and president of Knowledge Bureau. 

Key insights at this uncertain time require new thinking, especially in the areas of tax, investment, retirement, and succession planning said Mrs. Jacks.  “I am very excited about the 21 dynamic people who will share their wisdom and insights in the outstanding educational agenda we are pleased to offer again this year.”
