T3 - Technology Tools for Today was founded in 2003 by financial services experts (and former financial advisors) David Drucker and Joel Bruckenstein. Together they are the authors of three books: Technology Tools for Today's High-Margin Practice: How Client-Centered Financial Advisors Can Cut Paperwork, Overhead, and Wasted Hours (2013); Tools and Techniques of Practice Management (2013) and Vir

tual Office Tools for For a High Margin Practice (2002). For many years, Drucker and Bruckenstein produced the T3 Technology newsletter, the first of its kind in the financial services industry. They also began to host the industry's leading conference on technology as it directly relates to practice management and building a profitable business -- currently dubbed the T3 Advisor Conference, which takes place in February every year (somewhere warm). In 2013, a second conference was added to the slate of events -- the T3 Enterprise Conference, which takes place in November and is co-hosted by industry insightful Bill Winterberg. In March 2016, the new T3 Tech Hub was revealed (www.T3TechnologyHub.com). Watch for new and exciting developments in 2016. As a side note, David Drucker retired in the spring of 2015, but we will always be grateful for his sacrifices and contributions to the industry.
