Experience Horizons

Epic is a mindset. The attendee experience is embedded everywhere. Here’s what you can expect.

Where Connections Are Built

You won’t hear product pitches here — you’ll find a scholarship golf tournament, opening and closing parties, midday excursions and activities, on-site podcasts, and more…all part of an experience where boutique, not bigger, is better.

Get Off-Site and Explore

On Tuesday, May 5, you choose an excursion to discover the cultural offerings of Orlando and its surroundings! More information on 2026 opportunities coming soon.

Play Like a Pro — for a Good Cause

Our annual Scholarship Golf Classic raises money to expand access to those wishing to pursue education through College programs. Join on your own or with a team and enjoy a fun-filled, 18-hole experience!

Party With Your Peers

Our exciting opening and closing parties — held on the first and final evenings of Horizons — are the perfect place to let loose and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of sunny Orlando with your peers and significant others. Don’t miss them — more details coming soon!

Hear From the Experts

Don't miss live recordings of The College's Wealthie-nominated Shares podcast and on-demand recordings of key workshops featuring the many industry experts.

“It will be unlike any conference you’ve ever attended: an opportunity to hear from and speak with some of THE top minds in the retirement planning space while also getting to meet other advisors engaged in elevating financial planning. The College provides a great balance between knowledge content and tailored activities to truly take in the best the location has to offer.”

—Yoshia Hence

“The breadth of the topics was fantastic, and the depth of the knowledge from the speakers was simply the best. Even the knowledge from the crowd and the interaction back and forth was great as people asked questions and challenged assumptions.”
