Fans of the yearly fall Future Proof event are now getting a spring fling.
Organizers of the largely outdoor affair, held in September in Southern California for the past two years, announced that they will stage the Future Proof Retreat in March in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
The first Future Proof Retreat aims to redefine "the retreat-style event model," according to media and events organizer Advisor Circle and RIA Ritholtz Wealth Management. The venue is the 784-room Broadmoor resort.
While the Future Proof Festival drew roughly 3,000 attendees to Huntington Beach, California, this fall, the Rocky Mountain-based gathering expects to attract 500-plus executives from wealth management firms, growing financial advisors, fintech companies and others.
"We barely scratched the surface of what it can do at the Future Proof Festival earlier this year," Ritholtz Wealth CEO Josh Brown said in a statement. "At the Future Proof Retreat, you're not just collecting business cards — you'll be building meaningful relationships that will define the next stage of growth for your firm."
The spring retreat will include a tech-enabled networking program, Breakthru, which organizers introduced at the recent Future Proof Festival. The program resulted in more than 16,000 one-to-one meetings, according to organizers.
