Let's Start Talking Topics for the 2022 NAPA 401(k) Summit

Hard to believe, but just last week we were in the middle of an amazing 2021 NAPA 401(k) Summit. Today we start the process of planning for the next one – with your opportunity to weigh in on and suggest potential topics.

That’s right – the 2022 NAPA 401(k) Summit is only about 200 days away (April 3-5, Tampa, Florida) – the steering committee is ready to start meeting – and planning – the topics for workshops.

Now, we’ve long said that the agenda for “the Summit” is built by advisors for advisors – and that process for 2022 starts today. We’ve put together a starter set of potential topics – and this week we’ll start by asking you to weigh in on these starters – and write in topics that you’d like us to consider.
