BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#crypto—Future Proof Festival, expected to be one of the largest wealth and fintech events ever, today unveiled the initial four-day agenda for its inaugural edition. Co-created by Advisor Circle and Ritholtz Wealth Management, Future Proof is going to be unlike anything the wealth management industry has ever seen before. The agenda highlights an impressive speaker lineup and roster of entertainers booked for the citywide event, taking place from September 11-14, 2022, in Huntington Beach, CA.
The announcement comes on the heels of a key attendee milestone as Future Proof has surpassed 1,000 registered attendees, including over 700 financial advisors and institutional investors, collectively managing more than $654 billion in assets. The festival creators aim to have 3,000 attendees at the inaugural wealth management conference.
Future Proof distinguishes itself from traditional wealth management conferences by connecting the worlds of money, technology, culture, and impact within a completely outdoor setting, alongside Huntington Beach’s coastline. Future Proof challenges the financial events status quo as it leverages four hotel properties and a half-mile-long outdoor festival area to bring to life a modern approach to live industry event experiences.
In addition to industry-focused content, Future Proof will connect attendees through shared cultural experiences in art, music, and entertainment, including a live music festival and podcast recording sessions, an NFT art gallery, and street art commissioned from local artists.
Future Proof’s music festival will feature a variety of performers including Big Boi, the legendary hip hop artist and one half of the supergroup, Outkast; Fitz and The Tantrums, the American indie pop band; DJ MICK, who regularly spins private parties for celebrities, athletes, venture capitalists, and other prolific investors, as well as, Hi-Fidelity and Stella Blue’s Band, featuring Fidelity Institutional’s David Canter and CNBC’s Steve Leisman, respectively. More musical acts will be announced at a later date.
Attendees will also have the unique experience of sitting in and watching live podcast recordings by several of the most popular shows in the world, including Invest Like the Best, Bloomberg’s Masters in Business, Earn Your Leisure’s Market Mondays, The Compound and Friends, Animal Spirits, On The Tape, The Meb Faber Show, and Pop Culture Mondays. More live podcast recording sessions will be announced at a later date.
“There’s a cultural rebirth underway in wealth management. The launch of Future Proof symbolizes the beginning of a new era of investing and finance where we redesign traditional models while using modern techniques. It’s our industry’s Renaissance moment,” said Matt Middleton, CEO of Advisor Circle, and Co-Creator of Future Proof.
“This s*** is going to be insane. If you’re working in wealth management, financial planning, the investment business or fintech and you’re not at Future Proof, do you even exist?” said Downtown Josh Brown, CEO of Ritholtz Wealth Management and Co-Creator of Future Proof.
