"Golf is the closest game to the game we call life. You get bad breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from bad shots – but you have to play the ball where it lies." — Bobby Jones
We are extremely grateful that you decided to join us at the FactRight Ria Due Diligence Conference 2026—and what a conference it was!
Every conference we say it but THANK YOU!! Again, thanks to you, this conference was our largest! The FactRight staff cannot be more grateful for your support and appreciate those who could join us. If you couldn't make it this time, we hope to see you soon!
Here are some highlights from the conference!
- Nearly 600 industry professionals and wealth managers gathered at the Westin Kierland Resort & Spa. Our own Green Jacket wearing Russell Putnam, Co-CEO, teed off the conference and highlighted the FactRight Report Center, where wealth managers can access all of our due diligence reports.
- It was hot!! We had to move one happy hour indoors, but that didn't stop Nacho the Beer Burro from making an appearance! The Masters themed Happy Hours featured pimento cheese, chicken salad, mini moon pies, live music, tequila, and margarita tastings! Thank you to Vistra Fund Solutions and Inspira Financial for sponsoring such enjoyable evenings.
- Three golf clubs went into a bar. The putter asked for a beer. The wedge ordered tequila. And the third? The third said, 'Nothing for me. I'm the driver.'
- We were fueled throughout, thanks to ARCTRUST sponsoring the coffee cart.
- Tee times can begin pretty early. Are golfers morning people? Or are they just caffeinated?
- As we approached the 18th green, we found:
-
- 245 wealth managers
- 101 industry participant firms
- 78 conference sponsors firms (including presenting, exhibit, and amenity sponsors)
- 2 panels
- 1 beer burro
- 1 heat wave
When's the next conference? We hope to see all of you (and more!) at our Annual Due Diligence Conference, August 26-28 in Nashville, TN! Registration opens up in May 2026.
