AI is the single biggest shift facing advisors today, and most don't know where to start. It's an opportunity to scale and a threat to fall into obscurity. Advisors must learn to harness AI in their practice while simultaneously learning to navigate an AI-driven search world where clients find them in entirely new ways. Exchange is here to provide the hands-on playbook for both.

Diana Cabrices: Helping advisors get found in the AI answer-engine era
With AI reshaping how search engines work, the old rules for getting your brand in front of prospects are changing. Instead of just keywords, prospects now have conversations with AI, and answer engines decide who gets recommended before a user ever reaches your website.
Founder and Chief Evangelist, Diana Cabrices, will show advisors how to thrive in this new reality, sharing how to build a brand that gets seen in a world of Answer and Generative search optimization (AEO and GEO). She'll provide a framework for aligning your brand story and digital footprint so answer engines learn to trust and recommend you.
