MCLEAN, Va., May 24, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The 29th Annual SRI Conference, run by the SRI Conference and Community, LLC, a subsidiary of FOLIOfn, Inc., announced today that it already has 34 wealth management, advisory, fund management, research, non-profit and technology firms choosing to sponsor the industry's premier event for finance professionals interested in sustainable, responsible and impact (SRI) investing. The complete list is at: www.sriconference.com/sponsors/all-sponsors.
The annual SRI Conference is the longest-running gathering of professionals who are passionate about, engaged in and/or who just want to learn more about SRI investing. More than 800 professionals attended the annual SRI Conference in 2017. This year, The SRI Conference, together with its regional events, is expecting a record-setting near 1,000 attendees. The two regional events give advisors, investment managers, product managers and others even more opportunities to learn, share and advance SRI investing in a smaller setting.
"The tremendous success of The SRI Conference and its regional events is due in large part to the passion and caliber of its sponsors, and I thank them for their enthusiastic contributions to the SRI effort," said George Gay, CEO of First Affirmative Financial Network and one of the founders of The SRI Conference. "If a firm wants to be in front of influential advisors and wealth managers who care about SRI or who are learning more about it, then this is the conference to sponsor and now is the time to make that commitment."
The SRI Conference offers firms a variety of ways to be involved in its events, from speaking, exhibiting and sponsorship of networking events. To learn more, contact info@sriconference.org.
