SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Financial Planning, the only information resource dedicated to the needs of the independent financial planner, today confirmed the agenda for its highly anticipated annual conference, In|Vest West. The event will take place December 5-6, 2019, at the Parc55 Hotel in San Francisco, CA.
Data and innovation will be the key focus of In|Vest West, highlighting what businesses need to do to evolve — and reshape industry standards. Behavioral finance tools, for example, are expected to have the greatest impact on the future of wealth management, according to Financial Planning's Tech Survey, whose findings will be released exclusively at the event.
The conference will articulate the investment advisory world's dominant strategic and commercial agenda for the coming decade. Additionally, this year's assembly will openly and honestly address preventing sexual harassment in the fintech and wealth management industries with an influential panel of experts.
"In|Vest West attracts the industry's most innovative leaders in wealth management and fintech," said Chelsea Emery, Editor in Chief, Financial Planning. "We are confident that the insights shared at our tentpole San Francisco event will help prepare attendees for the future of digital transformation."
The conference will feature more than 500 senior executives from every area of wealth management — from traditional and private banks, to online investment platforms and venture capital firms. Educational tracks, led by industry innovators, emerging fintechs, wealth management institutions and technology giants, will reveal first-hand knowledge about the incoming wave of transformation. High-energy networking activities throughout the event will foster collaboration and discussion with peers.
