Financial Planning Education Vision 2020:
ENGAGEMENT – APPLICATION – ASSESSMENT

Capital Hilton – Washington, DC – August 9-10, 2012

Join us for the CFP Board 2012 Registered Program Conference on August 9-10, 2012, in Washington, DC!

CFP Board's annual conference brings together representatives from institutions around the country that provide professional financial planning education and assist individuals in pursuing CFP® certification. It provides an opportunity to connect with CFP Board and faculty and program directors from financial planning education programs around the country, to share best practices for financial planning education, and to learn about CFP Board's commitment to education partnerships.

This year's theme, Financial Planning Education Vision 2020: Engagement, Application, Assessment, will be a platform furthering our discipline relative to engaging students, applying context to the classroom or learning platform, and assessing student achievement. This year's conference is both a showcase for innovative ideas as well as forward thinking, considering financial planning education in the near future.
