About IENIEN is focused on producing practical, actionable, and content-driven events. We personally interview literally hundreds of people in each conference’s topic area, discovering their on-the-job problems, issues and concerns. We then find the very best speakers to offer solution-driven content, as well as facilitate peer-to-peer networking at each event. Our events are not trade shows or expos, although we do offer partnership opportunities to select vendors. We’re focused on the attendees’ needs entirely.

“No one wants to be left behind in the model portfolio space, as

asset managers vie to grab market share with the right offering.”

- Citywire, 5/7/18

“More than 150,000 advisors, who oversee $5.9 trillion in assets,

have room to incorporate model portfolios into their practices,

according to recent Cerulli Associates research”

- FundFire, 6/5/19

Growth opportunities for asset managers can be elusive, but what about the model portfolio space?
