OMAHA, Neb.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Orion Advisor Solutions, the premier provider of transformative wealthtech solutions for fiduciary advisors, today announced the theme for Orion Ascent 2024: "Unstoppable." Set against the scenic vistas of San Diego Bay at the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina from March 12-15, this premier event will celebrate the resilience, innovation and leadership that financial advisors bring to their clients every day.
This year's "Unstoppable" theme embodies the tenacity and adaptability of modern financial advisors. It signifies a commitment to overcoming the dynamic challenges of today's economic environment and a dedication to guiding clients with confidence and foresight. "It's more than a motto; it's the pulse of our industry," says Ryan Beach, President of Orion Wealth Management.
The conference theme is underpinned by key findings from a recent Cerulli study, "The Evolving Future of Wealth Management,"1 which highlighted the increasing value of financial advice and the growing desire among investors for comprehensive planning and personalized guidance. This growing demand compels the “unstoppable” advisor to seek new methods for scaling their practices and more effectively meeting the expectations of today’s investor.
Attendees can expect an agenda loaded with ideas and insights from the industry’s best and brightest minds. Furthermore, advisors are encouraged to earn and learn with more than 10+ sessions offering CE credit hours. The array of keynotes and sessions include:
- The 2024 Election in an Era of Shifting Monetary, Fiscal, and Geopolitical Frameworks – Dan Clifton, Partner & Head of Policy Research at Strategas Securities, will walk through the current election dynamics, the potential efforts by policymakers to boost fiscal and monetary policy ahead of the elections, the likely outcomes, and the direct investment implications of these scenarios.
