“Orion Ascent is a can’t-miss event, giving our clients a look at the Orion of the future as we focus on powering advisors and winning for investors by enhancing and connecting every aspect of the advisor-client journey,” said Eric Clarke, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Orion. “Advisors are clearly under pressure with inflation reaching 40-year highs, markets in bear territory and an uncertain economic outlook. There’s no better time to come together in-person to empower advisors with the technology, education and tools to show their value in a down market while building stronger client relationships and tempering investor anxiety via behavioral finance expertise. Using technology to augment human compassion and insight is the new frontier of fiduciary service and we’re excited to dive deep into these topics at the event.”
Attendees will attend live demos, train on Orion’s powerful, end-to-end technology suite built around Redtail’s industry-leading CRM hub, take advantage of onsite continuing education and meet with industry-leading portfolio strategists and managers. The many networking opportunities at Orion Ascent bring attendees together to connect and build relationships.
