When and where is the workshop? Is parking a hassle?
Both workshop sessions are located at The Venue in Valley Junction in West Des Moines, IA on the following dates. Please note: The workshop content will be the same for both sessions, so please register for the date/time most convenient for you.
- Tuesday, Nov. 18th from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
- Wednesday, Nov. 19th from 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.

If you have questions about directions or access, call (872) 266-3015 and we’ll make it easy for you.
Who’s this workshop really meant for?
This workshop is designed for people who’ve worked hard, saved well, and built a retirement plan they feel pretty good about. You may already feel 90–95% confident that you’re on the right track. But with that success comes a new kind of pressure: the more you’ve built, the more there is to protect.
That’s when the questions start creeping in: “Am I missing something small that could cause a big problem later?” “Have I accounted for all the new rules and changes?” “What if there’s a blind spot that could throw things off for my spouse, kids, or grandkids?”
If that sounds familiar, this workshop is for you. It’s not about starting over - it’s about shoring up what you’ve already built and making sure hidden risks don’t derail the future you’ve worked for.

Still unsure? Call Nate at (872) 266-3015. He’s happy to answer your questions personally so you can decide if this workshop is right for you.
What kinds of topics will you actually cover?
We’ll focus on the facts and changes that matter most for retirees heading into 2026, including:
✓ The new tax law changes around RMDs and retirement accounts and how the rules could affect even well-built plans.
✓ The estate-planning gap that often leaves families exposed to taxes or worse, disputes between heirs.
✓ Moves retirees are making now to better protect spouses, kids, and grandkids.
✓ A look at emerging forces from AI to policy shifts that could disrupt Social Security and retirement security in surprising ways.
✓ A clear state-of-the-economy update with historical charts that show where things stand now and what’s most realistic for the year ahead.

I’ve heard of financial advisors doing free dinner events. Is that what this is?
No, this is not a sales dinner and we are not financial advisors. In fact, most financial advisors themselves are overlooking the early warning signs of the biggest retirement changes in decades.
This workshop is purely educational, built to help retirees like you see the blind spots that are quietly disrupting plans that have worked for years - changes that are already starting and will fully take hold in 2026.
Even if you feel prepared, this event will give you the knowledge to stay ahead.
✓ If you have a financial advisor, you’ll walk away with the insight you need to have more constructive, proactive conversations with them.
✓ If you manage your own money, this information is even more critical, because you’ll leave with a clearer picture of how to prepare before these changes catch you off guard.
For those who want to dig deeper afterward, we’ll have a few special guides and resources available to take home.
Ready to pre-register? Simply complete the quick pre-registration form above, call Nate at (872) 266-3015, or email [email protected].
How long does the event run and what’s the setup?
The workshop will be about 3 hours.
We will have multiple education sessions and then end with a question/answer session of the financial expert speakers.

I'm not located in Iowa. Will this event be held in other cities?

Stay tuned for upcoming dates and locations - we’ll be announcing them soon on our website and through our email updates.
Will I get handouts or a recording to look back on later? And is there anything I should bring?
The workshop won’t be recorded since it’s meant to be experienced live.
However, handouts and a 40-page Workshop Manual will be provided, along with pens and paper to take notes.
You are welcome to bring a tablet or laptop if you’d rather take digital notes.
What food/drinks will be available at the event?
On the morning of November 18th, you can enjoy coffee, juice, and donuts. And on the afternoon of November 19th, we will have light snacks and refreshments.
What if something comes up and I can’t make it?
If you need to cancel, we’ll refund 50% of your ticket price as long as you let us know at least 10 days before the workshop. Cancellations within 10 days are not refundable.
We don’t allow tickets to be transferred to someone else, since we take time before the event to make sure each attendee is the right fit for this workshop.
To cancel, please contact Nate Crannell at (872) 266-3015.
