Future Proof, the world’s largest wealth festival, today revealed an exciting lineup of speakers and musical acts for the 2023 edition of their innovative outdoor extravaganza. The second annual Future Proof Festival, co-created by Advisor Circle and Ritholtz Wealth Management, will take place in Huntington Beach, California from September 10th-13th and is on track to bring more than 3,000 attendees, 150+ sponsor companies, and over 100 expert speakers. The iconic hip-hop duo, Redman and Method Man, will take center stage as the headlining musical act.

“Last year, we set out to create something truly unique—and we succeeded,” said Matt Middleton, CEO of Advisor Circle. “By prioritizing a sense of community, the event experience, and challenging the status quo, we assembled some of the most influential figures in our space in a way that has never been done before. Our 2023 lineup dials things up considerably with out-of-the-box thinkers who are defining the future of investing and advice. We are going to blow last year out of the water.”

Future Proof will feature over 100 industry-leading speakers, innovators, and disruptors building the future of wealth management, including:

In addition to wealth-focused content, Future Proof aims to foster a sense of community among attendees by offering shared cultural experiences in art, music and entertainment. Experience an exciting lineup of musicians and performers, including legendary east coast rappers Method Man (Wu-Tang Clan) and Redman (Def Squad) taking center stage as the headlining acts and reggae collective Easy Star All-Stars opening on Tuesday.

More musical acts and speakers will be announced at a later date.

“The world of wealth continues to evolve and has become part of the cultural zeitgeist. If you’re not educating yourself as to the needs and desires of the next generation of investors, you will get left behind,” added Josh Brown, CEO at Ritholtz Wealth. “I said it last year and I’ll say it again – Future Proof Festival is the ultimate gathering for anyone working in wealth management. With new innovations like AI chatbots and next generation custodians remaking the world, it has never been more important to stay engaged and learn how our peers are turning change into opportunity.”

This year’s Future Proof Festival will also present unique opportunities for attendees to connect with like-minded professionals in the financial services industry and beyond. Attendees will be able to take advantage of a new event-tech meetings platform called “Breakthru,” which is modernizing the way advisors, investors, fund managers and fintechs discover one another, meet and do business. This technology was designed to facilitate easy and efficient connections between attendees, allowing them to exchange ideas and build mutually beneficial relationships. Breakthru is a new addition that shows Future Proof’s dedication to keeping attendees up-to-date in an ever-changing industry.
