MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--More than 750 advisors, staff members and corporate leaders from Ameriprise Financial (NYSE: AMP) recently gathered in Orlando, FL and Atlanta, GA for the firm’s seventh annual Women Advisor Summits. Two separate three-day events featured powerful keynote speakers, best practices from top women advisors and Ameriprise executives, and breakout sessions focused on creating a differentiated client experience while growing and expanding advisors’ practices.
