Highlights included keynotes: Ryan Jenkins (who offered a cure for the workplace loneliness we didn't know we have), celebrity Andy Buckley from NBC's The Office (who shared his experience as a Financial Advisor while working on a hit TV show), and our favorite presiding "Dean of WealthTech", Joel Bruckenstein (who shared his invaluable perspectives on all thing tech). 

In between furious note-taking sessions and ah-ha moments, attendees were picking up complimentary copies of best-selling books from our keynote speaker, or the inaugural issue of Action! Magazine, AdvisorEngine's latest compilation of thought leadership content, chock full of actionable takeaways for wealth management teams.

Welcome back to handshakes, hugs and in-person networking. It was great to be together in a safe environment with longtime connections and new acquaintances. We love meeting our clients and industry peers face-to-face more than anything. Fact: Some AdvisorEngine staff members met in-person for the first time, after years remote teamwork. The energy was palpable.

In true AdvisorEngine fashion, the after-hours activities were nothing short of memorable. On top of amazing Austin food and libations, this year's entertainment unleashed the inner Texan in everyone. At the closing event, local musician Teddy Long set the vibe while attendees enjoyed tarot card readings, Texas leather stamping and armadillo racing.
