Joseph Bionci from Clifton attended EXPLORE 2010, Genworth Financial Investment Services’ 12th Annual Training and Education Conference in San Diego, CA, May 17–19. The three-day conference attracted more than 850 Financial Advisers, speakers, exhibitors, and guests. Joseph selected from more than 35 general and concurrent sessions that advanced the conference’s theme “Committed to Your Growth.” EXPLORE 2010 had a powerful lineup of keynote speakers. Speakers included Don Connelley, perhaps the nation’s most successful adviser to the retail brokerage industry; Dr. J.P. Pawliw-Fry, a thought leader on the subject of leadership, performance and managing change, an adviser to numerous Fortune 100 companies; and Kathryn Capage, Strategic Plan Director of Tax-Advantaged Products at Invesco, who spoke about recent tax law changes, Social Security and retirement. EXPLORE featured super sessions scheduled for almost double the length of traditional conference sessions which allow participants enough time to fully explore a topic in-depth. Topics included technology solutions for Financial Advisers; best practices, offered by Quantivus Consultants, Inc.; using social media in your practice, and succession planning. Genworth Financial Investment Services President Enrique M. Vasquez noted: “Hosting EXPLORE is one of the many ways we demonstrate our commitment to our Financial Advisers’ growth. Our Financial Advisers in turn demonstrate that same commitment to their clients, recognizing that the client relationship is at the center of their practice and is key to everything they do.” 72
