Josh Brown launches by-and-for RIA event, Wealth/Stack, in Arizona but with pay-to-speak slots for sponsors

With partner Barry Ritholtz, he frontlines a technology-leaning gathering in Scottsdale but Inside ETFs owns/runs the event and vendors will gain their customary influence

Josh Brown: The majority of conferences are staged by journalistic enterprises, custodian brokerages, professional organizations, asset management firms or software companies. This is going to have a program created by advisors

As the COO of <a href="http://ETF.com" rel="nofollow">ETF.com</a>, I was tasked with creating and running Inside ETFs (I hired John Swolfs) from 2007 - 2014. For the last 5 years I've been running a company (JV Events Group) which produces events for allocators ONLY (i.e. financial advisors, family offices, etc.). Additionally, we've invested in every asset class for any event we've produced. We are the definition of putting our money where our mouth is.

Why would an advisor pay $20-50k to stand on a stage and lecture other financial advisors as to what they're doing wrong? This event comes off as the most ego-driven spectacle I've ever witnessed.

LOL. I can't speak for their event, but I think their model is that the product manufacturers pay the freight to speak on stage, not the advisors. Don't quote me on that, but that would be my guess. If you're right though, I agree with you.

Scheduling this event opposite the Kitces conference (a mainstay) shows either the blind arrogance of Josh Brown, or his complete ineptitude.

I always enjoy being in Arizona in early September when it's 110 degrees...

Yeah but you'll be inside an air-conditioned conference room listening to Downtown Brown brag about himself on stage for an hour.

Ritholtz is a complete fraud and Josh Brown is a poor man's version of the Fyre Fest guy

That's a no-brainer Jesse. How's Joshy gonna go on stage and spin the fact that you can go on Schwab and pay $300/yr and get the same thing he & his minions are charging 1.5% for?
