The response was overwhelming. In its first year, Inside ETFs drew the largest crowd and most esteemed faculty of any ETF conference in the world. 70% of the 400+ in attendance were financial advisors, and panelists represented the leading product issuers, academics, researchers and tacticians in the field. This year, we’re back with an even bigger conference and a better editorial line-up, digging in to the real issues that matter to you: the practical, logistical and tactical issues involved in building better client portfolios with ETFs. New features to serve you better, include: - Two complimentary workshops—ETFs 101 & Advanced ETFs—running concurrently on Sunday afternoon (followed by a Welcome Reception)
- Smaller panels
- More sessions
- More slide presentations (available on CD/Web site)
- Keynote lunch speaker on Monday and Tuesday
- Free WiFi in the conference and exhibition areas
