“The ability to interact, network, and just have personal interactions with members is invaluable. Normally, talking about money and finances in a social setting is considered vain or tacky. At the 506 Conference, it’s a way to share philosophies, experiences, and advice in a candid and conversational way.”

— Paul Dynan
