Why We Show Up for Each Other: TradePMR, Advyzon, and the Power of Conference Community

Jan 23, 2026 2:50:50 PM

What meaningful conference sponsorship can look like in today’s RIA ecosystem.


Every conference has a purpose. Some are about scale. Others are about spectacle. 

The events that matter the most to us at TradePMR are about something a little harder to quantify: connection. It’s why we build SYNERGY (which is now open for registration!) the way we do. It’s also why, year after year, we show up for conferences that share the same values.

One event this year we are particularly excited about is Advyzon’s annual conference, taking place January 26-28 in Phoenix. TradePMR Founder and General Manager Robb Baldwin will be attending and taking the stage in a fireside chat with Meghan Holmes, Chief Operating Officer of Advyzon Investment Management. The session, happening January 27 at 3:55 PM PST, is titled, “Disruption With Purpose: How the Robinhood + TradePMR Vision is Helping Redefine Advisor Growth.”

It’s a conversation that reflects not just where both TradePMR and Advyzon are headed, but why we believe in showing up for one another’s communities in the first place.

Why TradePMR Attends the Advyzon Conference

We don’t attend conferences just to be present. We attend them to listen to advisors, to engage with our peers, and to be part of conversations about where the RIA industry is going next.

The Advyzon conference has consistently created space for exactly that.

At its core, Advyzon brings together advisors and leaders who are deeply invested in the future of independent advice. The conversations are practical, the audience is engaged, and the format encourages real dialogue rather than surface-level interaction.

Robb’s fireside chat with Meghan Holmes will explore how the Robinhood + TradePMR vision is helping redefine  advisor growth. It’s not just disruption for disruption’s sake, but thoughtful integration with a clear focus on empowering advisors to build enduring businesses. It’s the kind of discussion that resonates most in a setting like Advyzon’s, where advisors come ready to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and think long-term.

Beyond the stage, the Advyzon conference offers something we value deeply: meaningful time with advisors. Smaller, more focused settings create opportunities for real conversations that are more difficult in crowded exhibit halls or rushed meeting blocks. For us, that’s where the real work happens.

Why Advyzon Shows Up for SYNERGY

That same philosophy is exactly why Advyzon continues to show up for SYNERGY as a sponsor.

SYNERGY has always been intentionally designed as a different kind of industry event. It’s smaller by design, highly curated, and focused on bringing together advisors and leaders who are actively shaping the future of advice. That creates an environment where sponsors aren’t just visible, they’re accessible.

For partners like Advyzon, SYNERGY could offer:

  • True 1:1 connection with advisors. The format allows for real conversations, not drive-by demos.

  • A curated audience with advisors who are engaged, forward-thinking, and invested in building sustainable advisory firms.

  • Thoughtful programming with sessions designed to spark discussion rather than just sell a product.

  • A shared commitment to community. SYNERGY is built around strengthening relationships across the RIA ecosystem: advisors, custodians, and partners alike.

We also believe strongly in supporting our sponsors beyond the conference itself. From marketing collaboration to content amplification, SYNERGY partnerships are designed to be ongoing relationships, not one-off transactions. Advyzon’s continued presence reflects that alignment.

Better Together

At a time when the industry has no shortage of events, the ones we believe that will endure are the ones built on shared purpose.

We attend the Advyzon conference because it creates the kind of environment we value: thoughtful, focused, and grounded in real advisor needs. Advyzon sponsors SYNERGY for the same reason.

When firms show up for each other’s communities — not just as vendors or speakers, but as partners — everyone benefits. Advisors can get better conversations. Leaders can gain  better insight. And the industry can move forward in a more intentional way.

We’re excited for the conversations ahead at both events, and grateful for the opportunity to keep showing up together. If you’ll be at the Advyzon conference, we hope you’ll join Robb and Meghan for Disruption With Purpose, and stop by the TradePMR booth to meet our team on the ground. And if you’re considering SYNERGY26, we’d love to continue the conversation there.
