October 18-20, 2022
2022 Alliance Fall Forum
|
|
Our world has changed. The motivations, interests, and expectations of both our clients and employees have evolved – but are we keeping up with them? We believe now is the time to pause and Rediscover who we serve, how we serve them, and most importantly, why we serve them.
In this spirit of curiosity and exploration, our 2022 Alliance Fall Forum will kick off with Going Places: an immersive networking reception followed by the 2022 Alliance Young Professionals Awards Dinner. The reception is a unique opportunity to network with fellow attendees and look at the world through fresh eyes. Be sure to show up on time: we will be raffling off all-inclusive excursions, including trips to South Africa, the Maldives, and Italy!
The reception will be immediately followed by our 2022 Young Professionals Awards Dinner, recognizing our industry's under-40 rising stars. This evening has been generously sponsored by Haute Explore.

Family Dynamics:
Do It Yourself or Make a Referral?
|
|
On October 3rd, our monthly Family Dynamics Lunch & Learn Series will continue with a session on Do It Yourself or Make a Referral? FWA members will have the unique opportunity to be coached by experts and each other in a casual and collaborative space.
|
|
PLEASE NOTE: These monthly sessions are facilitated conversations on topics relevant to your work; they are not webinars or presentations. We kindly request that participants come:
- Prepared to be on screen. Feel free to eat your lunch! If you want to go off screen for bites, please then hop back on.
- Ready to participate in conversation. The conversation is facilitated by experts who will share their advice, but the main point is to capture the wisdom within the group.
- With questions and examples pertaining to the topic of the month.
- Open to learn through collaboration.
- Expecting an informal and organically flowing conversation (not a presentation!).
Each live session will be driven by member-submitted questions centered on that month's topic. You can submit questions through the registration link below. Due to the delicate nature of family dynamics issues, these discussions will not be recorded and must be attended live. Questions will be addressed in the order they are received.

Launched just last month, our new Operations Leader Roundtable is exclusively for senior operations professionals at FWA member firms – those responsible for project management, human resources, and internal operations.

Our CMO Leader Roundtable has grown and expanded into a CXM Leader Roundtable, an interdisciplinary group of client experience and marketing professionals practicing in the multi-family wealth space. Discussion topics include successfully cultivating prospects into clients; educating the market with a clear value proposition; and segmentation, communication, and engagement strategies.
