More Than Money 2009

You’re not a kid . . . in fact, your kids aren’t even kids anymore (and when did that happen?). You’ve built a career and the professional and personal assets we all hope will accompany strategic thinking and hard work.

And now . . . No one has to tell you the economy is sketchy (and perhaps no one knows the degree to which that keeps you up nights—not to mention wondering about the long term prospects for those kids-who-aren’t-kids-anymore, and the quiet doubt about your capacity to continue doing as much good as you can in the world).

Everyone you know feels the threat of underperforming resources; the erosion of assets that were rock-solid this time last year. Everyone is regrouping; rethinking flawed financial orthodoxies; revisiting once-trusted assumptions about which way is truly up.

More Than Money leans into this reality with a fresh and far-ranging view of the global economic unease and what some of our best thinkers and practitioners are doing to contain risk and harness opportunity.

You are far too busy to attend a “Christian Financial Seminar” where people whose credentials are mainly theological talk about things you already know (plus or minus a Bible verse). This is not the collection of Bible-and-business platitudes we’ve come to expect when church and parachurch ministries utter the words “Christian” and “finance” together. We get that. We wouldn’t sit through that sort of thing and we certainly wouldn’t put anyone else through it.

But what if we designed a finance conference 180 degrees different from that? What if we started with best-of-class financial thinking and practice, and then drilled down to a deeper level of integration for doing business spiritually engaged?

More Than Money is a major professional finance event focused on the global economy. The keynote presentations feature top flight private fund managers, economists and experts in international finance with first rate insights into the impact of current global economics on your business and investments and your intentions to transfer those assets and responsibilities to your business successors and heirs.

InsideWork® has constructed the More Than Money conference on a robust platform of spiritually enlivened business intelligence—the Financial Times in one hand; the ancient wisdom of the Bible in the other. That’s the context in which More Than Money presents a rich understanding of strategic risk management that encompasses the whole range of capital issues, including the multigenerational relationship of capital with our emergent company leaders and children.

InsideWork® comes from an altogether different construct, blending financial discernment with a worldview shaped by a lifelong pursuit of biblical understanding and marketplace practice. Part of the value added by InsideWork®—beyond bringing you together with these experts—comes at the conclusion of each plenary presentation when members of the InsideWork® team provide brief 15 minute “afterwords” designed to connect the underpinnings of the presentations in the context of a biblical worldview. We think you’ll agree this fusion of market-tested economic theory and practice with a thoroughly biblical perspective creates a unique professional learning experience.

We invite you to join a select group of businesspeople in San Francisco—spouses welcome, of course—to explore More Than Money: Financial Management in a Volatile Age. Registration is limited.
