Virtual Event for Financial Advisors Will Feature Live Q&A With Panelists


REDWOOD CITY, CA--(Marketwired - Dec 3, 2013) - Actiance, helping organizations benefit from communications, collaboration and social networking, has announced that its social media compliance specialist Joanna Belbey will join a panel of experts to discuss social media best practices during the Forbes-NAPFA Financial Planning & Best Practices for 2014 iConference. Moderated by Forbes staff writer Halah Touryalai, the session will look at the various social media platforms and how to leverage each effectively.

At Actiance, Belbey specializes in helping regulated firms use social media while complying with rules and regulations. Prior to Actiance, she led delivery for educational programs at FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) for six years where she leveraged more than 15 years' experience consulting with C-Level executives to develop marketing strategy for educational programs for the financial services industry. Joining Michael Kitces, partner and director of research for Pinnacle Advisory Group, and Jim Bell, founder of Bell Investment Advisors, Belbey will help listeners understand which platform is best for advisors, and how to remain compliant while communicating on these platforms.

"Education is a fundamental ingredient of an advisor's success and it's especially important in today's changing regulatory environment," said Belbey. "The Forbes-NAPFA iConference is a great forum for financial advisors to earn continuing education credits while networking virtually with peers. I'm looking forward to providing my insight on social media and compliance, and answering any live questions during the Q&A session."
