529 Savings Conferences Announced
Tuesday, July 17th 2007
Savingforcollege.com LLC, a Pittsford N.Y.-based consulting company specializing in “Section 529” college savings programs, has announced its upcoming 529 conferences geared to industry and financial professionals.
The “529 Boot Camp” is being held on October 24, 2007 while the “529 Technical Conference” is slated for October 25 and 26, 2007. Both conferences will be located at the Westin Casuarina Hotel and Spa in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The 529 Boot Camp is a one-day immersion into 529 plans and other college planning topics. "529 Guru" Joe Hurley from Savingforcollege.com is joined by several other experts including Kevin McKinley, author of Make Your Kid a Millionaire: 11 Easy Ways Anyone Can Secure a Child's Financial Future, to provide the knowledge, planning strategies, and resources needed by financial advisers and 529 program specialists.
The 529 Technical Conference focuses on the most important issues and opportunities for those involved in the 529 plan industry and is targeted to new and experienced 529 program staff, product managers at all levels of distribution, state officials and board members, legal and tax specialists, and anyone else with 529 functional responsibilities. This year’s conference theme is Next Stop: $200 Billion. Joe Hurley from Savingforcollege.com and Andrea Feirstein from AKF Consulting are leading the conference and will be joined by many of the country's most respected 529 experts during a day filled with lively panel discussions.
Savingforcollege.com’s 529 conferences have attracted thousands of participants in past years and are well-known for the quality and breadth of the programs. “This was a highly worthwhile conference, not only for new information on the market, but also for connecting with peers,” says one past attendee of the 529 Technical Conference.
