Advisor Circle’s First Event – Exchange, an ETF Experience, Developed in Partnership with ETF Trends – Sells Out with More Than 2,000 Attendees in First Year

Nearly 1,000 financial advisors, hundreds of institutional investors, and more than 125 sponsors gather in Miami for the ETF industry’s most significant event of the year.

MIAMI--()--Advisor Circle, a product and content studio for the financial services industry, opened its inaugural event, Exchange, an ETF Experience, to a sold-out crowd representing all aspects of the fast-growing, $7 trillion ETF industry. With more than 65 sessions, Exchange’s agenda explores a wide range of topics related to exchange-traded funds and the financial advisory space. In addition to the formal agenda, Exchange is designed to enable attendees to interact in unique and exciting ways through its reimagined exhibit hall experience – The Exchange Marketplace.

Exchange, the brainchild of Advisor Circle’s Matt Middleton, John Swolfs, Matt Hougan, and ETF Trends’ Tom Lydon, Tom Hendrickson, and Dave Nadig, immediately establishes itself as the largest and most important ETF-focused event. The annual event focuses on helping financial advisors build better portfolios and win new clients using the latest innovations in the ETF space. This year’s event features an influential and diverse speaking faculty, including:

“The unbelievable response and interest from financial advisors, institutional investors, ETF issuers, and the larger financial services community is a true testament to the industry's need for an event that focuses on the evolution of ETFs and how advisors and investors evaluate and use these products in client portfolios," said Middleton, CEO of Advisor Circle and co-founder of Exchange. "Exchange is the only financial advisor-focused event where attendees can discover the most important products and innovations and network with the most influential innovators to help move the financial advice and ETF ecosystem forward."

“ETFs have been one of, if not, the most beneficial financial innovation to advisors in the last 20 years, as they lead to better client outcomes in a more efficient manner,” said Hendrickson, President of ETF Flows and co-founder of Exchange. “Bringing together advisors and other industry professionals in-person to interact, connect, learn and evolve is something the entire team behind Exchange is very proud of.”

As part of Exchange, CNBC’s Bob Pisani will broadcast live from the event. In addition to CNBC, Exchange will feature a robust financial media presence, with reporters and journalists attending from: Financial Times; Bloomberg; Yahoo! Finance; Insider; ETF Trends; ETF Database; ETF.com; Citywire RIA; TheStreet; MarketWatch; Pensions & Investments; WealthManagement.com; With Intelligence; Investopedia; and Blockworks, among others.
