SEATTLE (PRWEB) February 12, 2018 -- 2018 marks the seventh consecutive year Xponential Growth Solutions (XGS) has held the Retirement Plan Roadshow, first founded in 2012 to assist U.S. employers in reaching their retirement plan goals through educational workshops. The 2018 Seattle Fiduciary Summit, set to take place Tuesday, March 6, 2018 from 11:00am to 3:00pm (luncheon included) at the Columbia Tower Club in Seattle, Washington, is the first of many stops along this annual, nationwide tour.

XGS is committed to providing education and resources that help business owners, fiduciaries, and finance, human resource, and benefit executives to better understand retirement plan best practices and industry trends. This, in turn, allows them to make informed decisions and develop strategies that will help businesses to grow and provide positive outcomes for plan participants.

The annual Retirement Plan Road Show supports this goal by pairing local speakers with industry leaders to discuss a diverse range of topics, from fiduciary responsibility, plan design, and investments, to healthcare, wellness, and more. In 2017, the Retirement Plan Roadshow reached over 1,200 companies and organizations, positively impacting more than 2 million plan participants representing over $125 billion in retirement plan assets. XGS hopes to have an even greater impact with the 2018 Retirement Plan Road Show.
