“When it comes to seeing what is coming out of the US in the area of automated financial services, one conference is a must: Technology Tools for Today, also known as T3. Across two events – a general adviser show each February and its Enterprise event for large firms in November – it brings together the country’s key players,” says Ian McKenna, a frequent contributor to Money Marketing magazine.

“T3 conferences are the financial service world’s equivalent of the Consumer Electronics Show,” says Bob Veres, editor / publisher of Inside Information. “Pretty much everybody who connects in some way to an advisor’s computer has a booth, so it’s a great place to identify, in one place, the trends in advisor technology.”
