Short answer? Yes! We’re looking for presentations that help XYPN LIVE attendees pursue independence and freedom, to build their success their way. Real people offering real advice, to get advisors from where they are to where they want to be.
The Apply to Speak application is now closed. All speaker decisions will be communicated in April.
Share your expertise on a practice management or financial planning topic in a one hour presentation. Check out the topics in the Content Sessions section.

Is it a content session or a community session? For content sessions, is your topic related to financial planning or practice management? For community sessions, is it a roundtable, panel, or networking event?
Basic session info, including:
Authentic speakers are the heart of XYPN LIVE. Share what makes you well-suited to speak on or lead a conversation on this topic. Have materials to support this? We’d love to review.
Community sessions provide the opportunity to start a conversation you care about. You'll outline a few questions, share a resource or two, and facilitate a conversation about the topic with your fellow attendees.
Want to lead a conversation on a topic? Propose it as a roundtable! You'll submit the topic, and why you think the conversation matters.
Are you interested in a topic, but don't want to speak on it alone? Recruit 2-3 other panelists to share the stage. You'll submit the topic and fellow panelists.

Host an informal networking session to connect with others. You'll submit the networking topic or group you're interested in bringing together.
Think of content sessions as a traditional conference talk. You take the stage for a presentation on a financial planning or practice management topic. You'll be asked to select an umbrella topic that's of interest to XYPN members, from the list below, that best matches your proposed topic.
Familiarize yourself with the content tracks and content levels. Think about which track your session will fit into and at what level.
Gather the materials for your application. Each submission will need to include the following: title, description, 3 primary takeaways for attendees, content track & content level, speaker name(s). We also encourage you to include any interactive elements planned.
Boom! That's it. Submit your application by Friday, April 23.
As an XYPN LIVE speaker, you'll receive a complimentary conference pass (if you already purchased your pass, you will be reimbursed!).
You'll work closely with the XYPN Advisor Education team to design a high-quality presentation or community event and you'll receive templates, training, and individualized support for your session. Your session will address the unique needs of XYPN members as entrepreneurs and fee-for-service, fiduciary, financial planners. Personal promotion and sales pitches are welcome in the exhibit hall, but not on the stage—selling from the stage during sessions or community events is prohibited.
You'll create your presentation and communicate about any changes, updates, or unique needs as soon as they arise.
Lastly, you'll make a huge impact! Your expertise and insight will be part of a conference buzzing with energy and excitement, and you'll walk away with new connections and enthusiastic fans.
Your session will be recorded and made available through the XYPN LIVE event platform, and by speaking at XYPN LIVE, you give XYPN rights to its usage.
