The Hearsay Summit is designed for FinServ and FinTech executives looking to share ideas and gain an edge with next-level insights and strategies. At this special curated gathering of business leaders, attendees will discuss breaking down organizational silos and empowering the high-tech, right-touch agents and advisors.

The new certification program enables users to get hands-on experience with some of the latest Hearsay functionality. Additionally, Day 1 will consist of role-based roundtable sessions tailored for marketing, sales/distribution, compliance, and IT professionals to discuss trends, best practices, and key success factors.
