After much thought and consideration, and with deep sadness, WealthCounsel has decided to cancel Symposium 2020. Click here for more information.

We are excited to share the learning opportunities Symposium 2020 has in store. Please continue to check back as more information will be added to the agenda.

During Symposium, July 22 - 24, 2020, you will be able choose sessions from six educational tracks to help you meet your professional goals--no matter your experience level. You can attend sessions focused on the fundamentals of estate planning, advanced estate planning topics, business planning, developing your practice, and specialty topics. There is also a track with sessions created for paraprofessionals, so bring your whole office!

In the days leading up to Symposium (July 20-21), we are offering precursor courses for attorneys looking to hone their skills in certain areas:
