We do pay attention to your evaluations and feedback: You wanted more program time devoted to discussions and you got it! More than 70% of the available time at our 8th Annual RIA West Investment Forum will be devoted to formats specifically designed to facilitate casual direct networking or small group discussions.
This important change to this meeting will maximize the time you can spend with other RIAs, building relationships and learning from each other’s experiences, mistakes, and successes during breakout workshops, tabletop discussions, and case studies and at breakfasts, lunches, breaks, and the cocktail reception and dinner.
So this isn’t a meeting where you’re advised to sit back and relax; this one is more about lean forward and engage. The more you put in, the more you’ll get out of the day and a half of diverse sessions focusing on both investments and practice management topics.
We hope you will be able to join us October 17-18, 2019 at the Ritz-Carlton in Marina del Rey.
Institutional Investor’s RIA Institute would like to thank our Advisory Board of esteemed RIA executives who help shape the Institute’s content, thought leadership and programming for the year.
