“The New Wisdom of Women & Wealth”

Our panel of marketing experts tackle the critical subject of "what today's women need from financial services brands."

In 2014, FCS hosted a sold-out luncheon with a high-powered panel who delved into the theme of “Marketing Financial Services to Women.”  The goal of this year's event is to drill down into underserved financial needs of women.  Our panelists will discuss what every brand, agency and publisher need to know when targeting the female consumer, saver and investor.

Sponsorship packages for this special event are available.  Please contact FCS CEO Kevin Windorf.
