Improve Your Personal Finance Skills
Money Conferences are informative, free presentations designed to help people better handle their personal finances. Included are planning for retirement, getting out of debt, saving for college, building a household budget and more.
"We all need to plan ahead," says State Treasurer John Perdue, "and tomorrow will arrive faster than we think. There is no time like today to begin building your financial future."
Each conference also features a variety of financial services exhibits that add another useful dimension to the conference experience. Sponsoring organizations staff the exhibits and are available to discuss their services with attendees. The conference agenda builds in ample time for visits with the exhibitors.
Since inception in 2002, the Money Conferences have attracted nearly 7,800 people in 26 locations. Nearly everyone comes away with concrete ideas for improving their personal finances.
“This was wonderful -- a good reminder of what we need for financial security,” wrote Sandra from Fairmont. We don't think you'll be disappointed.
