The deadline for making your reservations at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs for RIA’s Leadership Summit and Industry Expo is Monday, February 7th. With the cost to attend the event is the lowest it’s been in 10 years, rooms will be going fast, so make sure to book ASAP. The early registration price is $400 for the first attendee and $300 for each additional one, and includes 2 full breakfasts and lunches, education sessions, exhibition hall access and two evening receptions. Register for the convention here before the February 21st early-bird deadline.
This is a great place to pick up several continuing education credits, particularly for those who hold RIA Certifications and need to attend one RIA event within their 3-year cycle.
This will be RIA’s only convention-style event this year, since there will not be a traditional “Fall Conference” as done in the past. There will be a two-day Striclty Contents Conference in Chicago on September 15-16. More details to come…
