Digital Disruptions in Wealth Management The landscape of the wealth management industry is shifting rapidly beneath the feet of the industry s traditional players: They are facing more stringent regulations, demand for greater technology investments, declining profitability and a new class of competitors. These internal pressures are combined with changing client demographics, behavior and demands. An increasing understanding of the competitive threats and demand for change has set in around the industry. In Vest 2015 will bring the community together to both highlight the changes underway and offer thought leadership and a digital vision of the future. In Vest 2015 expects to attract 400-plus executives buyers and sellers from all facets of the wealth management industry. This event will bring the industry together to share robust content that covers all aspects of the changing industry and features an exhibit hall that showcases the future of wealth management technology from the perspective of both the endemic players in the industry and the upstart competitors disrupting the status quo.
