The Capital City Summit
About this Event
Financial Confidence for Your Next Chapter
Greenville-Area Pre-Retirees & Retirees: Join us for a few hours at the Hyatt Regency and gain real direction on the financial decisions that shape your retirement.
Retirement is one of the biggest transitions of your life, and most people arrive at it feeling underprepared, overwhelmed, or just plain unsure of what comes next.
The Capital City Summit is a one-day event designed to change that.
You'll hear from two keynote speakers, one focused on the financial side of retirement and one focused on the personal side, so you leave with both the knowledge and the motivation to move forward with confidence.
Becky Swansburg, a nationally recognized tax and legislative risk expert with firsthand experience in Washington, D.C., breaks down the tax and income strategies that actually matter in retirement in a way that’s clear, practical, and easy to understand. Christine Cashen brings the energy and perspective to help you see retirement not as a finish line, but as the most exciting chapter ahead of you.
Beyond the keynotes, you'll have access to a live Q&A panel featuring a Certified Financial Planner, an estate planning advisor, and a retirement specialist ready to answer your real questions. Plus lunch and an optional post-event networking hour to keep the conversation going.
What you'll walk away with:
- Confidence about your retirement income and how taxes can work in your favor
- Answers to your biggest retirement questions from credentialed professionals
- A whole new sense of excitement about what this chapter of life can look like
- A go-to network of local professionals ready to help support your next steps
