2026 BetterInvesting National Convention

The 75th Anniversary of BINC, set for April 23–26, 2026, in Chicago, honors seven decades of empowering individual investors through education, collaboration, and community. Founded in 1951 in Detroit as NAIC, now known as BetterInvesting, it has grown from a visionary group of stock enthusiasts into a national resource for personal investing, famously introducing the concept of investment clubs to democratize financial learning.

This milestone event will reflect the organization's rich legacy—beginning with its first conference in 1951—and spotlight how BINC evolved from a modest gathering into a premier multi-day investment forum, featuring sessions on everything from the Stock Selection Guide (SSG) and publicly traded companies, the technology industry, to estate planning and market analysis.

Organized by the BetterInvesting Volunteer Advisory Board, the event will not only be educational but deeply community-driven, with proceeds supporting local chapters and volunteers. It's both a look back and a leap forward for those passionate about financial independence.
