Virtual Conference Experience

In 2020, conference hosts John Mauldin and Ed D’Agostino moved the event from in-person to virtual, where it has remained, allowing us to reach over 5,000 global investors.

Investment advisors can earn continuing education credits for attending. Attendees can ask questions in real time. Those who cannot make every live session have immediate access to the video, as well as an audio version and transcript.

Attendees tend to return every year. Here are some of their comments

Very good virtual experience

“Very good virtual experience. Was able to plan for, and attend, most presentations. Enjoyed the breadth of the coverage of topics. ”—A.S.
So glad it's now virtual

“Overall, excellent. So glad it's now virtual!!! I miss the interaction, but the sheer ease of being able to decide to attend without having to get on a plane and take a hotel room is bliss.”—A.C.
I loved the theme and the speakers

“I loved the theme and the speakers. I think I was enriched by attending. Ed did a fantastic job. I really like it that Ed’s weekly interviews are like a SIC conference continuation.”—G.F.
Exceptional resource

“I am a CFP and your continued support of CEs is very appreciated. I have recommended SIC to many colleagues because of the CE's. Bill White is an exceptional resource: knowledge, experience and very candid.”—B.A.
Respectful and deep analysis

“The level and tone of discussion was the best yet. Thoughtful, respectful and deep analysis. Recognition that "it" is broken, and things need to change, and it will be bumpy.”—D.E.
Easy to "catch up"

“The format makes it very easy to attend especially the recorded sessions that allow me to "catch up" when I can't attend at the scheduled time. ”—D.A.
