What are attendees saying about Barron’s Summits?

The level of sharing is extraordinary. You will absolutely gain valuable, usable, actionable ideas that are worth more than the cost and time invested.

Where else an you hear from the best in the business, sharing how steward family wealth in an completely unbiased and open forum? Easily the best conferences I attend each year.

The agenda was just the right mix of industry and practice management.

The Barron’s team is truly a pleasure to work with and their event planning and execution team are very professional, thoughtful and detailed.

Barron’s hosts exceptional events. I always come away feeling more educated and challenged at the same time.

The quality of the advisors is excellent and the agenda includes wide-ranging and timely, topical sessions.

Space is limited and is available on a first-come first-served basis.
