The CFDD’s 2010 Advisor Conference themed “New Age Marketing: What Worked In The Past Is No Longer Effective”, is an all business event designed to help retirement plan specialists adapt to new trends, increase activity and grow their business. This year’s conference is expected to draw more than 1,000 retirement plan experts, including over 500 advisors.
Piccirillo is one of four panelists for the session entitled “The Intersection of Inbound Marketing, New Media and SALES” which will address social media strategy, blogging, compliance issues, and practical tools for managing online efforts.
