PAICR MEMBERS TO REACH OUT, BUILD BRIDGES AND MAKE CONNECTIONS AT THE WEST COAST CONFERENCE
Communications Professionals within the Investment Industry Explore
New Ways to Connect with Clients
PRINCETON JUNCTION, NJ – March 20, 2007 – The Professional Association for Investment Communications Resources (PAICR) has announced the West Coast Conference will take place March 22-23, 2007. PAICR members will gather at the Marina del Rey Marriott in Los Angeles, California, to participate in various educational events that offer insight into current topics affecting the investment industry today. The conference title, “Reaching Out, Building Bridges and Making Connections,” refers to the conference’s focus on the relationships between various internal and external partners involved in investment communications.
Ron Gold, founder of Gold Consulting, Inc., leads the conference as keynote speaker. Ron has 35 years of experience in the consulting and investment management industries. He will present Strategies for Successfully Connecting with Consultants on the first day of the conference as well as participate in a working lunch to further help members explore ways to connect with clients.
The Conference features a variety of workshops, roundtables and working sessions. During the educational sessions, PAICR members will learn from expert and peer-lead panel discussions. Members will be able to debate on current issues and developments within the industry. Workshops will include consultants, plan sponsors, and marketing directors sharing their thoughts on where they believe the industry is heading.
“As the first conference of the year, the West Coast Conference will set the tone for our other planned events in 2007,” said Michael Kay, President of PAICR. “This year’s theme, “Reaching Out, Building Bridges and Making Connections,” really captures the many opportunities available for our members to learn new techniques to communicate better with consultants, clients and prospects.”
Conference attendees will also be able to exhibit their work before their peers. The PAICR Peer Exhibit and Contest has quickly become a popular PAICR tradition. This conference will feature Organizational Charts. Winners will be chosen based on the votes they receive from conference attendees. There will be a winner in each category: Firm Organizational Chart and Team Organizational Chart.
In between education sessions and workshops, PAICR members will be able to meet and network with the various exhibitors at the conference. This year’s exhibitors include Proposal Software, Inc., The Sant Corporation, eVestment Alliance and Institutional Investor News, among others.
