New to the 2023 Exit Planning Summit: 16 Breakout Sessions!

As a business professional, you have likely attended a variety of conferences in your career. Think back on those conferences for a moment. What made them stand out to you? Why did you decide to attend? Which conference provided the most “bang for your buck” so to speak? 

The best conferences do not sell the attendees with all flash and no substance, although there are plenty of those conferences out there. In reality, the most impactful conferences provide attendees with actionable education, a wealth of resources, and engaging networking opportunities. 

The Exit Planning Summit is the premier conference for professional advisors who are committed to accelerating business value, aligning personal and financial strategies for their business owner clients, and meeting the top professionals in the exit planning industry. 

See how we are building on the successes of the 2022 Exit Planning Summit with the upcoming 2023 Exit Planning Summit, May 21-23, 2023 in Scottsdale, Arizona.

New This Year: Breakout Sessions 

Based on attendee feedback from our previous Exit Planning Summits, we have updated our Summit agenda to feature a broader assortment of sessions throughout the three-day conference. In addition to our highly-rated Learning Labs and Power Sessions, this year we will introduce Summit Breakout sessions and supplemental workshop programming.
