Looking for guidance on which industry events will truly move the needle for your financial planning/investment advisory firm next year? The Kitces.com team has released its annual roundup of top conferences, and the T3 Technology Conference is their pick for Best Technology Conference. It is featured prominently among the nation’s 17 best financial advisor events to attend in 2026.​​

What does this mean for wealth managers and financial advisors? If keeping up with tech trends, vendor innovation, and direct access to product demos is on your priority list, then T3 is THE strategic place to be.

WHAT SETS T3 APART

According to Kitces, “T3 is not a traditional lecture-based conference. Instead, it’s structured as a comparison-shopping experience tailored for independent advisory firms and tech decision-makers. The exhibitor hall doubles as a discovery zone, offering on-the-spot access to interactive demos and real-world use cases for nearly every major fintech solution on the market.​​”

This setup allows attendees to:

• Identify technology solutions aligned with specific firm needs
• Connect directly with the industry’s leading innovators and integration partners
• Preview product updates and explore new launches before anyone else

No hours wasted in sales calls—just real insights, fast.
