JMMB’s Learn and Vibe event targets millennials

JMMB Learn and Vibe, a fireside chat session, will kick-start the two-day JMMB Elevate 2.0 financial empowerment event series slated for January 17-18 in Kingston.

This after-work session will see local experts and social-media influencers in finance in Jamaica, such as members of #FinanceTwitterJA, namely: Simon Johnson, David Rose and Mark Gayle, alongside award-winning finance journalist Kalilah Reynolds, share about wealth-creation opportunities and speak to major financial trends that impacted 2019, in anticipation of what’s likely ahead in 2020. The speakers will also share lessons from their personal experience in the ‘investing game’.

Kerry-Ann Stimpson, chief marketing officer at JMMB Group, outlined: “The fireside chat is a great addition to this year’s JMMB Elevate series, and is especially targeted to millennials and investment enthusiasts.”

Adding, “2019 was another great year for the stock market, and the Jamaican economy has also seen some positive growth. Correspondingly, there has been a keener interest in investing, especially among millennials. As such, JMMB decided to create a space where investment enthusiasts, who have an understanding of the fundamentals of investing, can come together to share insights, gain practical pointers and delve deeper into the topic, in a relaxed environment, while also benefiting from the knowledge of more seasoned investors.”

PRE-EVENT WORKSHOPS

This fireside chat will be followed by pre-event workshops and the main financial empowerment event, featuring: Steven Bartlett, CEO of Social Chain, international speaker, content creator and a digital media guru, as the keynote speaker; alongside Rochelle Cameron, attorney-at-law, people developer and motivational speaker. JMMB experts will also complement the headliners over the two-day event series.

JMMB Elevate 2.0 is designed to help individuals to “take their goal planning and achievement to the next level by giving attendees all the information they need to create actionable plans”, reveals Stimpson.

The company will also facilitate further interactions and financial planning conversations with the aim of helping individuals to take actionable steps in transforming their goals into reality.

Admission to the JMMB Elevate event series is free. However, interested persons would have been required to register online or via JMMB’s social-media channels.
