About this Event

Howe & Rusling is hosting a relaxed, interactive evening where you can wander between tables staffed by our team of professionals: wealth managers, CFPs, client service managers, investment professionals, and our tax expert.


We’ll provide charcuterie, beverages, and light refreshments to keep the atmosphere low-pressure and social as you move around, learn, and ask questions. There is no pressure to stay for 3 hours—think of it as a window to come and go!

You’ll find tables covering essential topics and plenty of open tables with chairs where you can sit down and workshop real items if you'd like, or just quietly learn and absorb new information. There’s no pressure to complete tasks on the spot, but we're here to help you if so.

Bring your laptop and/or other devices to make the most of the evening if you’d like--we'll guide you through practical, hands-on applications of the ideas we share so you can leave with actions completed, plans started, or simply clearer next steps.

The goal is for you to walk away with new knowledge and actionable steps to simplify your financial to-do list and we hope to make you feel more empowered in the process.

Workshop content is intended for general educational purposes. Individual circumstances vary, and certain topics may require individualized financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Attendees should consult with the appropriate professional regarding their specific circumstances.
