Tuesday in Vegas — Join Me and GraniteShares at Kassi Beach House
Exchange 2026 is here. If you’re an advisor in Las Vegas, there’s one event this week you don’t want to miss.
Exchange 2026 is officially underway in Las Vegas — and the energy at the Virgin Hotels is exactly what you’d expect when you put 1,400+ ETF professionals, asset managers, and financial advisors under one roof.
I’m writing this because there’s one event on the schedule I want to make sure doesn’t fly under your radar — especially if you’re a financial advisor in or around Las Vegas.
Tuesday Happy Hour at Kassi Beach House — You're Invited
Our friends at GraniteShares are hosting an exclusive happy hour on Tuesday, March 17th from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM at Kassi Beach House, inside the Virgin Hotel. Drinks, small bites, and desserts — all included.
The timing is perfect. Tuesday’s conference agenda is stacked — Jeffrey Sherman from DoubleLine on the bond market, Rob Arnott from Research Affiliates, and Kara Swisher closing things out with Bob Pisani on AI, crypto, and prediction markets. After a day like that, you’re going to want a good drink and a room full of people worth talking to.
This isn’t a massive corporate reception. It’s an intimate setting — the kind of environment where you actually get to have real conversations with other advisors, portfolio managers, and industry professionals. That’s what makes it worth showing up for.
Here are the details:
What: GraniteShares Happy Hour
When: Tuesday, March 17th, 4:30 PM – 6:30 PM
Where: Kassi Beach House (inside the Virgin Hotel, Las Vegas)
Includes: Complimentary drinks, small bites, and desserts
You don’t need to be attending the full Exchange conference to join. If you’re a financial advisor, wealth manager, or asset allocator in the Las Vegas area, this is a great reason to stop by the Virgin Hotel on Tuesday evening.
I’ll be there personally, and I’d love to connect face to face. Whether we’ve been exchanging emails for years or this is the first time you’re reading The Lead-Lag Report, come introduce yourself. I’m always up for a conversation about markets, macro, and where things are heading.
If you want to attend, just reply to this email. I'll make sure you're on the list. Spots are limited, so don't sit on this one.
See you Tuesday.
