FPA of Michigan Annual Symposium 2026

October 8-9, 2026 · Plymouth, MI

The Michigan chapter's annual symposium runs across two days, which puts it at the larger end of the FPA chapter calendar. The extra day allows for deeper technical sessions than a single-day format permits, and it draws planners from across the state rather than just the Detroit metro.

Who attends

CFP professionals and financial planners from across Michigan, including associate advisors, paraplanners and operations staff, plus regional vendor partners and chapter sponsors.

What's on the agenda

• Technical planning across tax, retirement and estate

• Investment strategy and economic outlook

• Practice management and firm operations

• Continuing education for CFP professionals

Why regional firms hit the data problem at a different scale

Firms outside the largest metros tend to run leaner operations teams, which means the manual work of moving data between systems falls on people who also have client responsibilities. The cost is real but rarely measured, because nobody's job title says data reconciliation — it is simply distributed across everyone's week.

Milemarker is the data infrastructure layer for wealth management, connecting 130+ systems so client data lives in one place.
