Speaker Sessions

The Meat and Potatoes of Growing Wealth LIVE!
Even if you are a vegetarian, the speaker sessions at Growing Wealth LIVE! will both educate and inspire you.

Growing Wealth LIVE! is exactly what its name implies. It is Growing Wealth, the magazine, in three dimensions. It is the real-life version of the magazine. Instead of reading articles, you will attend speaker sessions. Instead of checking out advertisers, you will meet them face-to-face in the exhibit hall. But the speaker sessions are where you will get the information you need to take your business or your investments to the next level.

Below is an initial list of the speakers who will share their wisdom at Growing Wealth Live! You’ll recognize many of the names from what you’ve read in the magazine. But don’t think this is a comprehensive list. There are many more speakers and sessions that will be added to this list as time passes, so be sure to check the list frequently to find out if the sessions that will change your life have been added.

We know that as the listing of sessions grows, you will become more excited about your trip to San Francisco in May and the difference it will make in your businesses or investments.

Frank Miles’ keynote presentation, "Laugh at Fear," has been honored with standing ovations from crowds as large as 14,000. At 18, he won the first Best Street Entertainer competition in San Francisco.
