5 Reasons to Attend the 2017 BPAS Partner Conference

At BPAS, we’re getting ready for our return to the City of Brotherly Love for our fourth annual BPAS Partner Conference. It will be held on June 5 – 7, 2017, at the Hilton at Penn’s Landing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

As we’re joined by financial partners from across the nation and scheduling our keynotes, breakout sessions, and networking opportunities, we wanted to let you know that there’s still time to sign up.

Thinking of attending, but not sure what to expect? Here are five reasons why you’ll be glad you didn’t miss this year’s conference.

1. Networking Opportunities

The BPAS Partner Conference is about more than simply listening to speakers and participating in panels. It’s about having the opportunity to connect with peers, fund families, and BPAS team members. The ability to network and build these relationships can be critical to navigating the complexities of the industry’s future.

2. Panels and Breakout Sessions

We’ll bring you the latest hot topics and tools important to your business, delivered in smaller, interactive group format:

• Investment strategies under the current landscape
• Building process efficiencies to get more time for client-servicing
• Conducting annual plan-review meetings
• Targeted marketing strategies

3. Keynote Speakers

Every year, we bring some of the best minds in the industry to our Partner Conferences, and this year is no exception. We’ve lined up top experts to expand on a wide range of topics to help you succeed in the retirement plan arena.

We’ll be highlighting our guest speakers in our blog, but we’re excited to feature:

• Ralph Acampora, a pioneer of technical analysis for more than 40 years.
• Charlie Epstein, the 401k Coach.
• Amy Glynn, a leader in the development and deployment of best-in-class worksite solutions and programs.
• Tom Kmak. a recognized expert in the retirement services industry who provides benchmarking of fees and services for Defined Contribution plans.
• Steve Saxon, attorney and expert in regulatory updates.

 4. Learn Strategic Ways to Grow Your Business

Want to grow your business, but not sure where to start? Learn innovative prospecting and sales techniques, with Charlie Epstein, “The 401k Coach.” Charlie’s experiences, multi-dimensional business practices and considerable knowledge provide him with a unique perspective on the challenges that face the retirement plan industry. In his fast-paced and entertaining session, Charlie will share with you the top ‘Superstar Secrets’ that you can implement in your practice today to achieve exponential sales results.

5. Philadelphia

After last year’s successful Partner Conference, we decided to return to the City of Brotherly Love. And why not? Philadelphia is centrally located and easy to access for travelers from across the U.S. without the gridlock of New York or Washington D.C.

But more than that, Philadelphia is an amazing and vibrant city in its own right. More than a touchstone of our nation’s history, Philadelphia is easy to explore and has award-winning restaurants and beautiful parks and waterfronts. It also offers world class museums and performing arts venues, and if you’re visiting from St. Louis or Atlanta, the Braves and the Cardinals are playing the Phillies the week of the conference.
