The three-day event is being held virtually through Wednesday, Oct. 21. eMoney CEO Ed O'Brien kicked off the Summit with his opening keynote, which underscored the power of planning to overcome challenges and times of uncertainty, especially during the current pandemic. He highlighted eMoney's 20-year history, and the company's unwavering commitments to deliver a full-spectrum planning platform that evolves with the financial landscape and to help advisors become better planners. "At eMoney, we've centered our business on planning for 20 years. It's at the heart of everything we do," said O'Brien to an audience of over 1,000 virtual participants. "Giving an advisor software doesn't make them a better planner. It's our software combined with training, coaching, innovation, communication and collaboration that we can successfully deliver financial planning together and create better client experiences. Throughout the next three days, we hope to inspire advisors with new ideas, research and concepts that will expand your perspective as an advisor and leader." This year's theme, "Power to the Plan," was inspired by eMoney research that captures insights from over 800 advisors and end-clients. Matthew Schulte, eMoney's head of financial planning, revealed highlights of the findings during his keynote, which summarized how the role of an advisor is changing and how new generations are shaping the market. The Power to the Plan Research1 identified the emerging themes and trends that will impact the future of the industry and the advisor's role in it, including artificial intelligence and big data, data privacy, values-based planning, and total wellness and advisor as a life coach.
