As the premier event for wealth management professionals, Future Proof Festival in Huntington Beach offers unparalleled opportunities for networking, professional growth, and innovation. If you need help convincing your boss it’s worth your time and money, keep reading! These simple steps will give you everything you need to communicate the value and the long-lasting impacts of attending.
Step 1: Highlight the Benefits
Attending Future Proof Festival may take place next to the beach, but it’s four days packed with a career-transforming experience. Consider how these points will directly impact a specific project you and/or your team is working on:
- Develop critical wealth management skills amidst 80% C-level speakers.
- Network with over 4,500 industry professionals to bring fresh perspectives and potential partnerships.
- Engage in Breakthru Meetings, facilitating impactful connections and business solutions.
We suggest highlighting a few projects you’re working on that will be directly impacted by attending. Giving your boss specific examples will communicate that you’re going in with a plan and show that you’re dedicated to your team’s success.
Step 2: Present a Detailed Plan
Providing clarity on the investment required shows your boss you’ve looked into the logistics of what’s required to attend. Our Hosted Program offers a free ticket and $750 travel reimbursement, sent via PayPal or wire transfer after the Festival.
