Connect with talented people, innovative ideas and new capabilities

As a correspondent, we will be in regular contact with you by phone and e-mail. But one of the best ways we can develop a strong partnership is in person.

That’s why we invite all our correspondents to Connect — a special three-day conference. Meeting at our headquarters in Minneapolis every other year, Connect offers you the opportunity to become better acquainted with the global resources of RBC, associate with your colleagues from around the country and meet leading solution providers.

Conference attendees enjoy a variety of professional activities.

• Keynote speeches by notable industry experts
• Presentations on sales concepts, market trends, compliance issues and technology updates
• Opportunities to network with peers
• Educational breakout sessions

Our next conference will be held April 22-24, 2012 in Minneapolis.

Many correspondents say attending Connect provides information and motivation they can use to take their business to new heights. Here’s what a few had to say about our 2010 conference.

“This was the best financial conference I have attended with a wealth of talent and knowledge.”

“There has been a dramatic shift in market share in financial services and RBC recognizes it and is poised to offer the tools needed to take advantage of this opportunity.”

“I'm glad that our firm has the opportunity to work with RBC. I couldn't script a better relationship. The resources are amazing. Thank you for this opportunity.”

“I think it is rare that a major firm like RBC would make such resources available to correspondents.”

“This conference was extremely well planned and executed.”

“As good as it gets....!”

We also host frequent regional wealth management symposiums at different locations from coast to coast. These one-day workshops are packed with practical “how to” ideas financial advisors can use to enhance the way they provide service and boost productivity.

We can say many of our best ideas have come from things our correspondents told us at various conferences. And that could be the best idea we’ve had — to listen.
