I was really impressed with the breakout sessions last time and have no doubt that we’ll see more great presentations this year. I only wish I could have been in two places at once to catch both speakers each hour!
I’d love to hear Miranda Marquit talk about how she’s able to be so prolific. A constant flow of new ideas and sometimes multiple posts within a few days on same topic yet each article, unique.
@joetaxpayer I agree, would love to hear her speak!
@Carrie@joetaxpayer Agreed! We love the writing she does on our site.
Looking forward to seeing the Speakers list.
What are the odd that Suze Orman will want to come and speak or at least do a focus group?
@Eric J. Nisall – DollarVersity You realize, if the odds are too high, say 10,000 to one, she can just have a worker put up a couple hundred bucks, bet for, and then show up. Which makes me think, I heard Pete Rose is planning his own Cash Balance Card, but I digress.
@joetaxpayer Heck, if that was the case, I’d throw down a hundo. As far as Pete Rose goes, I think he’d be too worried being around financial types considering his past tax issues. Plus, I’ve already met him and he’s not fun to be around
Hey PT! I’d like to see a session on the trends in consumer financial education, new legislation coming down the pike. Credit cards, payday loans, red-lining and other predatory practices. Are there any new programs that our readers can benefit from, etc. What’s going on in the personal finance world in Washington that we as bloggers can share with our communities? Of course this would have to be presented in a non-technical manner.. ie: plain English.
@DorethiaConner I could not agree more. I reached out to the new Consumer Financial Protection agency. Hopefully they will send someone, or I can find an equivalent. This year will definitely have more personal finance (trend) type info.
