Educational Sessions

This cruise will provide a one-of-a-kind educational experience featuring a blend of practical and technical topics. Several of the technical educational programs will be delivered by video prior to cruise departure. These webcasts will be posted on the "Webcast Series" page of this website and must be viewed prior to cruise departure because they are the background to the case studies which will serve as an interactive training program during the cruise.

In addition to the case studies, the cruise hosts several programs designed to provide students and newer advisors insight into the numerous holistic financial advisory professions.
