NEW YORK, Aug. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Two of the most prestigious events in the financial services industry, the ThinkAdvisor Luminaries Awards and The MarketCounsel Summit, are coming together for the first time to synchronize their programs at the newly opened Fontainebleau Las Vegas. This collaboration promises to create an unparalleled experience for event participants, highlighting industry excellence, thought leadership and influential visionaries having a transformative effect on the financial services industry.
The fourth-annual ThinkAdvisor 2024 Luminaries Awards, renowned for celebrating exemplary leadership, groundbreaking innovation, and outstanding community impact, will now cap off the 16th edition of The MarketCounsel Summit, a premier gathering often referred to as “the Davos of wealth management.” This alliance offers a unique opportunity for attendees and sponsors of both events to engage in a coordinated experience and reduced travel impact, doubling down on the Summit’s notoriety of being the industry’s capstone event of the year.
The MarketCounsel Summit will take place from Monday, December 9th to Wednesday, December 11, 2024, convening the wealth management profession’s leadership in an exclusive, invitation-only forum. This year’s Summit will delve into critical areas such as Technology and AI, Growth and M&A, Regulatory Compliance, and Behavioral Finance & Practice Management, fostering insightful dialogue and civilized debates among the industry’s best.
The ThinkAdvisor 2024 Luminaries Awards program will take center stage from Wednesday, December 11th to Thursday, December 12th. The festivities will begin on Wednesday evening with a cocktail reception and dinner gala where the Luminaries Awards will be presented, celebrating the exceptional contributions of organizations and individuals who have made a profound impact on their firms, clients, and the broader community. The awards ceremony will be followed by a MarketCounsel After-Hours celebration, a fitting conclusion to the Summit’s high-spirited discussions. On Thursday, ThinkAdvisor will present a series of engaging panel sessions and roundtable discussions, offering further opportunities for networking and learning.
“The collaboration between the ThinkAdvisor Luminaries Awards and The MarketCounsel Summit is a natural fit,” said Scott Thompson, SVP Market Strategy and Events for ALM’s Business and Finance Division. “By bringing together these two distinct networking events, we’re able to create a more comprehensive platform that not only honors excellence but also fosters critical conversations that will continue to shape the future of the financial services industry.”
Brian Hamburger, President and CEO of MarketCounsel, added, “The MarketCounsel Summit has always been about providing a private, focused environment for the industry’s top minds to discuss the most pressing issues. Partnering with the ThinkAdvisor Luminaries Awards allows us to extend the conversation and celebrate the broad spectrum of leaders who are driving meaningful change. This partnership amplifies the impact of both events, offering a richer experience for all attendees.”
