reg a panel at ADISASCOTTSDALE, AZ—It was great to be back. That was the take away from the first face-to-face ADISA gathering in more than a year. The ADISA 2021 Spring Conference was marked by sold-out registration, high energy and enthusiastic participants and speakers at the JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn Resort & Spa in Arizona. The more than 500 attendees took advantage of 27 breakout sessions that bookended general sessions, round tables, keynote speeches and in person networking.

At the women's initiative lunch, Cass McCrory, a marketing specialist, kicked off the conference by speaking about personal brand, connection, and the importance of aligning your values to your career.

Keynote speaker Mara Liasson, national political correspondent for NPR and Fox News Channel contributor, took the microphone as keynote speaker on Tuesday, May 11. Her talk on "The Changing Face of American Politics" provided a candid, enlightening view of what's going on in Washington D.C.—and its impact on alternative investments.
