Asset Builders and many sponsors and community partners from the Fox Cities area and around the state will present the ninth-annual Fox Cities Money Conference on Saturday, November 5, 2011 at Fox Valley Technical College in Appleton. Registration and continental breakfast begin at 7:30 am, with the program lasting from 8:30am until 3:15pm.
The Conference is a nonprofit event and there is no selling or pressure to buy any financial products – the goal of the event is to teach participants how to improve their financial situation. Richard Entenmann of Asset Builders said “the Conference offers high-quality education in an unbiased and fun atmosphere. Things that people learn here can have substantial “pocket-book” results in the short term, and can lead to higher net worth and income levels in the future.”
Maung Win of FISC and the author of Winning Ways for Life, will be the luncheon keynote speaker. Mr. Win will teach Conference participants how to manage their cash flow efficiently, and will provide a roadmap for achieving personal and financial goals that will put Conference-goers on the path to financial independence. Mr. Win has a BS in Chemical Engineering, MS in Management and is a CFP® certificant, with over 25 years of successful investment experience
Alan Prahl of FISC will be the morning keynote speaker, and will present “20 Ways to Save Money in 20 Minutes.” Alan will share tips about how Conference-goers can stretch their money, reduce expenses, and still live a comfortable life, and will expand on this presentation in a subsequent classroom workshop.
The family-friendly Conference has more than 20 separate 1-hour classroom sessions for adults, on topics such as How to Read Your Credit Report and Fix Your Credit; Meals in a Flash for Less Cash; How to Have More Month than Money For a Change; and Love and $$ - a Relationship Challenge. Classes for youth include topics such as Let’s Eat at George’s, Comparison Shopping…the Right Way, Interview Tips and more.
The Conference features three one-hour sessions in Spanish and in Hmong, plus
• childcare for children between the ages of 2 and 6 (advance reservations required)
• continental breakfast and lunch
• a free copy of each participant’s credit report with credit score
• door prizes throughout the day
Advance registration is $5.00 for adults and $2.50 for youth between the ages of 6 and 18. Registration at the door is $7.00 for adults and $3.50 for youth between the ages of 6 and 18.
