“There’s never been a more important year to head to Exchange. With markets in flux, ETF providers have been building incredible strategies designed to cope with these volatile markets. I can’t wait to get to Miami to learn the latest.”
“This year’s event was the best I have ever been to.”
“It’s phenomenal to see everyone back out in the wild again!”
“After a volatile year in the stock and bond market, many advisors are likely looking for insights & connections in 2023 to help clients navigate what’s next. Exchange is a perfect place to accomplish this.”
“Attending the conference gives me in-person access to the ETF industry innovators, portfolio managers and traders allowing me a deeper understanding of the many products available. You can’t get that same knowledge and satisfaction by reading a blog or visiting a website. The connections I made last year provided me with a known contact at each firm and, ultimately, expanded my own firm’s product offerings.”
“I’m thrilled to spend time with clients, see old friends and colleagues, form new partnerships and friendships — there’s not another event like Exchange. And the solutions go beyond financial services… I’m also fired up to get my hands in the sand and join in the Surfrider Beach clean-up!”
“I cannot wait to see financial advisors from across the country engaging, connecting, and sharing best practices. And on Tuesday I cannot wait to engage with all Exchange attendees during the More Than PINK Walk with the Komen Foundation.”
“Over my career, I’ve had countless opportunities to learn from seasoned veterans in our industry, many lessons that I have carried with me in everything I do. One benefit of getting older and gaining experience is the ability to pay it forward to our future leaders. This is why I am so excited for the mentoring event with Junior Achievement at Exchange in Miami.”
“I am excited about Exchange because it will be such a wonderful learning experience with some of the brightest minds in the world coming together on a variety of topics. There will also be a focus on passing knowledge onto our younger generations with the Junior Achievement program — which is amazing!”
“Each year the ETF industry migrates to South Florida convening to discuss hot topics and meet with clients, partners, and friends across the industry. Exchange is a unique conference gathering, driven by a purpose beyond financial services as evidenced by its partnership with Junior Achievement — touching young people via education and pressing economic empowerment for their success. I am excited to partner with Junior Achievement during the conference.”
LET’S STAY CONNECTED.
