The first day of the Wealth Management EDGE conference included a series of panels on RIA growth, AI, investing and more, plus a conversation with Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel.

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel kicked off the first day of the Wealth Management EDGE conference this week at The Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood Beach, Fla., discussing his empathetic leadership style, his authenticity and the confidence he gives himself and his players.

He was followed by Constellation Wealth's Lisa Crafford and Pat McHugh, discussing the next generation, and then Wealth Enhancement Group's Jeff Dekko and Orion's Natalie Wolfsen discussed the current dynamics and trends in wealth management.

All of this was preceded by a full afternoon of panel discussions, ranging from cybersecurity to the Corporate Transparency Act to artificial intelligence to tips for unlocking RIA growth.

The event, which combines WealthStack, RIA Edge and Inside ETFS+, continues on Tuesday and Wednesday.
