Key Themes in Personal Financial Planning Track

Expect discussions on leveraging tech tools to enhance client engagement and improve the accuracy of financial forecasts.

3. Behavioral Finance:

Understanding the psychology behind financial decisions is essential for effective planning. Engage 2024 will feature sessions on behavioral finance, offering insights into how clients’ emotions and biases affect their financial choices. Learning how to navigate these psychological factors can help planners guide clients toward more rational financial decisions.

4. Regulatory Updates and Compliance:

Staying up-to-date with regulatory changes is vital for any financial planner. The conference will provide updates on the latest legislative and regulatory changes affecting personal financial planning, ensuring that attendees are well-equipped to advise their clients in compliance with current laws.

The conference facilitates connections between peers, mentors, and potential business partners. Networking events, including a welcome reception and various breakout sessions, offer the chance to exchange ideas and build professional relationships.
