2014 Assets Learning Conference: Platforms for Prosperity

The Assets Learning Conference is a nationally recognized biennial event that brings together more than 1,200 professionals from leading nonprofits, foundations, financial institutions, corporations, academic institutions and government entities to learn about and advance asset building in the United States. The Conference is the only event of its kind and addresses the entire spectrum of asset-building strategies, ranging from youth financial education to retirement savings. The 2014 Assets Learning Conference, Platforms for Prosperity, will build on nearly a quarter-century of experience convening a diverse range of partners to learn from each other about cutting-edge strategies that blaze trails toward financial security for low- and moderate-income Americans.
