ATTEND

Being a leading advisor and being an advisor leading a team are two distinct challenges, but they are becoming increasingly interdependent. While Barron’s Advisor celebrates the accomplishments of advisors, their success is often the by-product of excellent teams, who recognize that every role contributes to the aggregate success of the team and the firm. This is the reasoning behind Barron’s Teams Summit—to give advisors and their teams the tools to raise the bar for service and improve client outcomes.

This event is by invitation only ​and brings together elite-tier advisory teams for five days of rich content, designed to address the complexities of interpersonal dynamics, provide insights on financial management and share innovations in wealth management.
