You’ve felt it too: competing in endless aisles of pop-up banners and stress balls. Struggling to meaningfully engage with the right professionals. Experiencing little connectivity to the future you’ve framed for financial services.
Most industry events are flat, stale, templatized. Anything but epic.
We see a different path: one where your brand connects with an academic institution focused on a stronger profession. One where your people engage with attendees throughout the event. One that attracts firm leaders serious about business growth and client service.
We built Horizons as an epic retirement planning experience — and this was the result:

with 20+ years
use annuity products regularly
make budgetary decisions for their firm
average AUM
Net Promoter Score (NPS) = “world-class” event satisfaction
