Among the NAIFA Live presenters in 2021 were Jeremy Hallett presenting on the latest in FinTech, NAIFA Trustee Chris Gandy, and Eszylfie Taylor. But NAIFA Live is not only an opportunity to learn and be inspired by world-class speakers. At each NAIFA Live, you will have the opportunity to interact with NAIFA members and the NAIFA Live presenters in virtual breakout rooms. These live virtual question-and-answer sessions are among the highlights of each month’s presentation.
