We'll walk through three areas where AI is already changing how advisors work:
1. Automatically generate a daily morning brief that consolidates upcoming meetings with firm-wide and household health;
2. On-demand client reporting and forward-looking growth projections generated from live data in a single request; and

Panel: The Practitioner's Allocation Toolkit
Host: Patrick Spencer, Head of Strat. Advisory, A² Investment
Info: Building durable client portfolios takes more than picking products off a shelf. It takes a working knowledge of how each solution behaves, where it adds value, and how the pieces fit together. This panel brings together leaders from across the investment landscape to talk through what practitioners actually need to optimize allocations in today's market. Our speakers lead firms across structured investments, separately managed accounts, ETFs, and alternatives. They will share where they see demand shifting, how advisors are using customized alpha-seeking and value-add strategies to differentiate, and what separates a thoughtful allocation from a crowded one. Attendees will leave with a clearer sense of the tools available to them and a sharper eye for matching the right solution to the right client objective.
🕑: 03:40 PM - 04:05 PM
Keynote: Trust is a design decision
Host: Rich Walker, CEO, Quik!
Info: Drawing on 25 years of building a trusted infrastructure for wealth management, Rich Walker argues that trust isn't earned through reputation, it's built or lost through three specific, nameable design choices: visibility, predictability, and control. As AI forces every firm to make these choices deliberately rather than by default, this talk offers a practical framework attendees can apply to their own AI adoption decisions, not just to forms.
