The American College of Financial Services and its Center for Special Needs hosted the Inaugural Advanced Special Needs Planning Symposium in June 2023.
Recognizing a void in continuing education for financial services professionals who wish to better serve this unique population, in 2023, The College designed an educational symposium geared toward their specific, applied educational needs. Special needs planning experts and practitioners from across the country spent one and a half days at The College’s campus in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, learning advanced planning and business development strategies, as well as having the unique opportunity to network with other financial professionals who share their passion. Based on the success of that event and the response of those who attended, we have planned an even larger event for 2024.
