T3 Begins Thursday; Follow the Conference Twitter Backchannel

The second large industry conference of the year for independent financial advisers kicks off this Thursday.

The Technology Tools for Today (T3) Conference, a joint effort by T3: The Newsletter producers David J. Drucker and Joel P. Bruckenstein, begins with pre-conference sessions by many leading technology vendors and service providers.

Pre-conference sessions include presentations by Junxure, Laserfiche, Tamarac, MoneyGuidePro, and Smarsh to name a few.

Presentations

I’ll be there presenting two sessions. First, I’ll be a panelist in Friday’s session titled iPad: How Advisors Are Using it Productively along with Sandra E. Goodstein of Goodstein and Associates, LLC, and Russell Dunkin of McKinley Carter Wealth Services. Diane MacPhee, CFP®, Business Coach and owner of DMAC Consulting Services, LLC will moderate the panel.

Second, I’m teaming up with Jo Day of Trumpet, Inc to present Transformative Technology You Can Implement Now on Saturday. We have assembled a slide deck full of resources advisers can add to their practice to make clients and colleagues speak highly of their firm.

Visit the T3 Conference website for the full conference agenda.

Ramping Up for the 2011 T3 Conference

My speaking engagements for 2011 are quickly approaching with the first event being the  2011 Technology Tools for Today, or T3 Conference produced by Joel P. Bruckenstein and David J. Drucker. See the other engagements I have confirmed on my Speaking page.

I’m involved in two sessions during the conference and I hope you’ll join me for both. First I’ll be part of a panel discussion addressing how financial advisers are using the Apple iPad in their practices.

iPad Panel

Diane MacPhee, CFP®, Business Coach and owner of DMAC Consulting Services, LLC will moderate the panel. I’ll share in the discussion with Sandra E. Goodstein of Goodstein and Associates, LLC, and Russell Dunkin of McKinley Carter Wealth Services.

If you’re on the fence about buying an iPad to use in your practice, or you want to know if you should wait until “iPad 2” comes out, you need to attend this session.

Transformative Technology

My second presentation is a joint effort with Jo Day of Trumpet, Inc. The two of us plan to deliver a resource-rich session on transformative technologies you can add to your practice and how doing so will make clients and colleagues speak highly of you and your firm.

If you haven’t done so already, register today so you do not miss out on this opportunity to learn how new technology can help you streamline your  business and provide excellent service to your clients.

And one last housekeeping item: The “official” unofficial Twitter hashtag for the 2011 T3 Conference is #T32011. See you on the back channel!
