We’re excited to share the theme for this year’s MQ Gathering:
“Navigating the VUCA World – A Think Tank for Financial Professionals.”
In an era defined by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity, the role of financial professionals has never been more essential—or more demanding. This year’s Gathering will offer a rich, immersive experience focused on understanding how humans respond to uncertainty and how financial professionals can serve as steady guides through it all.
Through engaging talks, guided exercises, and collaborative discussions, you’ll explore the psychological, behavioral, and neurological responses to chaos, and walk away with practical, evidence-based strategies to support both your clients and yourself.
Join us in Minneapolis | September 16-18, 2025
