WELCOME

Small firms have a huge business opportunity as the asset accumulation, income distribution, and wealth transfer needs of Baby Boomers converge into the dominant driver of growth for the financial services industry.  Now more than ever before, Boomers and their heirs need innovative, personal, and meaningful advice to help them make the right investment and life decisions.  The convergence of this opportunity and need demands that firms develop new business solutions, strategies, and tactics. 

 

The 20^th Annual Small Firms Conference & Exhibit will address key business issues that will help smaller firms leverage their close client relationships, local competitive advantage, and optimal position to thrive, grow and serve investors.
