The Denise L. Nappier Money Conference 2026

Ready to invest? Want to buy your first home? Launching a small business? Soak up FREE financial workshops and resources from field experts! On Saturday, October 17, 2026, The Denise L. Nappier Money Conference returns for its 23rd year. It was established in 2002 as a way to provide individuals in the Hartford region with free, life-changing financial lessons and resources. Every year, we gather financial experts to lead engaging, valuable workshops and trainings, curated to support all levels of financial literacy. This year's theme is Manifesting the Money Mindset: Plan. Prepare. Act. 2026 workshops include topics such as: Homeownership, Investing, Estate Planning and Entrepreneurial Development. We're focusing on developing the right mindset AND plan of action to ensure you set and hit your financial goals. Our Keynote speaker, Tonya Cornileus, Ph.D., is a motivational speaker, certified coach and founder of Your Aha! Life, a personal growth and transformation company that helps individuals navigate life and career transitions. Tonya is going to set the tone for a day of discovery and growth — helping you do an honest self-examination to uncover the beliefs, assumptions and stories around finances and success that are holding you back. After that, we will break into groups for two rounds of three personalized workshops to choose from! Pick your favorite AM workshop and PM workshop for the financial areas you're focused on. This event is FREE and stacked with professionals who can guide you on your financial journey. We're even starting the day with a hot, fresh breakfast buffet to fuel your transformation. All you need to invest is your time. Ready to make that commitment?
