“Financial Planning has long struggled to bridge the gap between financial planning academics and practitioners. But as we’ve recapped in our annual 2017, 2018, and 2019 reviews of the conference, the CFP Board Center for Financial Planning’s Academic Research Colloquium is now bringing that gap and over the span of just a few years is quickly becoming THE event to showcase emerging research in financial planning!”
