"This was a finely tuned and well managed conference and this made it easy for a 1st time attendee. The conference organizers and presenters were warm, friendly, and accessible to everyone.  None of the usual exclusive groups that you might see at other conferences.   I met many new colleagues and the exchanges were priceless. The topics were and presenters were hand-picked veterans in their fields. I attended all of the sessions and was introduced to subjects I didn’t even know I was missing."

"My thanks go out to the Steering Committee for the fantastic program they put together for the New Orleans ASNP conference. Between SNT planning for high-net worth families, to review of tax considerations of grantor versus non-grantor trusts, to information on working with structured settlements and financial settlement planners, and an updated overview of the interaction between Section 8 and SNTs, I got the information and stimulation I need to bump my practice up another notch in the next year. Kenneth Brown's and David Lillesand's update on SSA policy was especially helpful. At least as valuable and enjoyable were the personal relationships I developed while ingesting the fabulous cuisine of New Orleans. Special needs planners really are good people and great company. I can't remember having attended a conference that contributed so directly to the development of my practice in exactly the direction I want it to grow."
