Private Client Conference
Overview
It is with great disappointment that we must formally advise you that SIFMA’s 2020 Private Client Conference has been canceled. You should have by now received notice of cancellation from our host, Marriott Turnberry.
For more than 40 years, this event has gathered the leaders of the wealth management industry. Unfortunately, however, circumstances beyond our control have made it impossible to proceed with the event this year. The cancellation was precipitated primarily by restrictions on non-essential travel implemented by many of SIFMA’s member firms and other organizations that will undoubtedly impact the ability of our speakers, sponsors and other attendees to participate in the event, as well as public health and travel advisories, difficulties with air travel, and other recent events related to the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). Additionally, as I am sure you are aware, the President has declared a national emergency; the Governor of Florida has declared a state public health emergency; and the Mayor of Miami-Dade County has taken action to restrict large gatherings. This all follows in the wake of CDC guidelines to avoid large gatherings of people. All of these restrictions, notices and policies have combined to make it impossible to hold the Private Client Conference this year. We hope this advance notice affords you the opportunity to plan accordingly.
SIFMA’s Business Continuity Planning (BCP) team continues to closely monitor COVID-19 and its impact on our industry and the markets. In the event of a significant incident that affects or has the potential to affect the operations of the financial system, SIFMA helps to coordinate the financial industry’s BCP efforts. For more information and resources for those at your firm entrusted with this critical role, please visit www.sifma.org/bcp.
Your registration fee is 100% refundable and will be automatically refunded within the next 30 days. You do not need to contact SIFMA for this refund. Please contact hotels booked outside SIFMA’s room block and other travel carriers to cancel arrangements as needed.
We appreciate your understanding and support, and we look forward to seeing you at the 2021 Private Client Conference. Stay tuned for its date and location; in the meantime, you can view SIFMA’s other upcoming events at www.sifma.org/events.

Wealth management firms have invested heavily in providing a range of investment advisory offerings to suit the varied needs of their clients and financial advisors. Unfortunately, the various investments firms have made over the years has led to disparate programs that are difficult for advisors to navigate when crafting optimal solutions for clients. Learn how these investments can be harnessed to leverage the strengths of your firm, bring efficiencies to financial advisors, and provide tailored advice to each client.

Financial Advisors provide important services to investors to help them attain their financial goals. FAs regularly help their clients financially navigate “life events,” such as birth, marriage, college funding, divorce, job transition, and aging. Each life event is a vital time in an investor’s life, and the FA/Client relationship is crucial for investors to reach optimal financial decisions. This panel of experienced FAs from across the country will provide their insight on how they best serve their clients’ interests and help them achieve desired results.

The Catalyst: How to Change Anyone’s Mind
Everyone has something they want to change. Employees want to change their boss’ mind and leaders want to transform organizations. Salespeople want to win clients and marketers want to change consumer behavior. Politicians want to change countries, startups want to revolutionize industries, and nonprofits want to change the world.
But change is hard. We push and push, but often nothing happens. Could there be a better way?
This talk introduces a revolutionary approach to change. Successful change isn’t about pushing harder or exerting more energy. It’s about removing barriers. Overcoming resistance by reducing friction and lowering the hurdles to action. Discover the five hidden factors that impede change, and how by mitigating them, you can change anything.

What is the most important thing for living a happier life according to the world’s longest study? What about for building a higher-performing team? And how do both of these things tie directly into the growth of financial advisors and their ability to reach new households, especially in the HNW/UHNW space?
Attendees will discover:
- What matters most for personal happiness based on data from Harvard, and why it’s not money, health, achievements, or even family
- What matters most for team performance based on data from Google
- How shifting demographics are evolving to put client happiness front and center
- A framework that helps advisors, managers, and leaders compete to win against fee compression, robo-advice, and industry-wide change
This has been one of the highest-rated sessions at SIFMA’s Securities Industry Institute as well as in the field for top advisors and their clients.
