Hollywood, Florida Event Aligns Inspiring Keynotes, Strategically Valuable Breakouts and Community-Building Networking for Industry’s Most Elite Financial Advisors

Conference Provides First Opportunity for Sanctuary and tru Independence Partner Firms to Engage, Connect and Learn Together Since Combination of Enterprises in May 2024

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Sanctuary Wealth (Sanctuary), providing elite financial advisors the freedom, flexibility, control and choice to thrive in an evolving industry, announced the conclusion of its annual Oasis national conference that took place in Hollywood, Florida, at The Diplomat Beach Resort Hotel, October 16-18.

The conference saw record attendance, with more than 500 participants, including advisors and registered assistants from Sanctuary and tru Independence Partner Firms, strategic partners, executive leadership and home office staff. This is the first time tru Independence Partner Firms have gathered in the same event since Sanctuary’s acquisition of tru in May 2024.

Community Building and One-on-One Learning Opportunities

Sanctuary was built on the premise that the whole can be greater than the sum of it’s parts and fosters a culture with a steel-sharpens-steel mentality where the best make each other better. Community building is the primary goal of Oasis, and the conference provided many opportunities for advisors to reconnect, share ideas and build deeper personal connections with each other. Many attendees are former wirehouse advisors and relatively new to the independent model, so networking among these colleagues with common experiences is particularly valuable.

Sanctuary once again hosted its popular Growth Village for advisors who wanted to hear from home-office specialists on implementing value-added resources for their practices, from marketing and branding to search engine optimization and media relations.

Conference Theme: Bold Ambition

The 2024 Oasis theme was Bold Ambition, a call for attendees to take decisive action to continue to thrive in the evolving wealth management industry. It included three days of keynote addresses, interactive breakout sessions and community-building networking opportunities with peers from across the growing network.

Adam Malamed, CEO of Sanctuary Wealth, opened the conference by reminding the audience, “Be bold, innovate, and respond to client demand—or risk being left behind. Independent wealth management firms have never had a greater opportunity for growth, and this momentum will continue. Our conference aims to help Partner Firms recognize industry trends and take strategic action to capture these opportunities for client success and business growth.”

The Nexus of Value

As a platform provider, Sanctuary is committed to staying ahead of industry trends — focusing not just on where the industry is, but where it’s headed. This ensures that advisors have a strategic partner that continues to build offerings that will support them well into the future, enabling them to deliver lasting value to their clients.

Malamed added, “Sanctuary is investing to equip affiliated advisors with the tools, products, and solutions necessary for flexibility, growth and long-term success in this dynamic industry.”

At this year’s conference, Malamed introduced Sanctuary’s Nexus of Value, a forward-looking framework built to ensure advisors have a platform that evolves with them.

The Nexus of Value focuses on three core components: Client Engagement, Digital Agility, and the Foundational Elements of independent wealth management businesses. These elements converge to meet the growing and evolving demands of clients’ needs for more personalized services, advanced digital solutions and operational efficiency.

Vince Fertitta, Co-President of Sanctuary Wealth, who oversees all recruitment for the firm, added, “Elite advisors have more choices than ever before when considering independence, and those who have chosen Sanctuary bet on themselves.” 

Co-President Bob Walter added, “You bet on yourself, but you put your faith in Sanctuary to provide the tools and technology to win.” 

Impressive Keynotes and Valuable Educational Sessions

Keynotes for this year’s conference included experts who embody the Bold Ambition theme. Speakers included Mike “Coach K” Krzyzewski a Naismith Hall of Fame basketball coach, five-time national champion at Duke and a six-time gold medalist as head Coach of the US Men’s National Team; Marcus Luttrell, the former Navy SEAL, bestselling author of Lone Survivor and Co-Founder of the Lone Survivor Foundation; Julian Castro, Political Analyst, NBC News and MSNBC; and Morgan Ortagus, CEO and Founder of Polaris National Security and former spokesperson of the State Department.

Attendees also heard updates from Sanctuary executive management, including Adam Malamed, CEO; Vince Fertitta, President; Robert Walter, President; and Mary Ann Bartels, Chief Investment Strategist.

The conference provided multiple opportunities for attendees to identify and develop growth-oriented, actionable business strategies at a series of breakout sessions hosted by Sanctuary’s strategic alliance partners. Stand-out topics included “Private Markets Are Hot: Popular Sectors for Every Type of Investor,” “Chasing Positivity: The New Art of Client Attraction,” which focused on mindset and client growth strategies; and “The Big, Bold, and the Beautiful – Introducing Wove by BNY Pershing” that provided insights into the cutting-edge operating system transforming the wealth management industry. These sessions highlighted critical trends and tools advisors can leverage to fuel their business growth.

Sanctuary Enhancing its Platform with Bold and Ambitious New Solutions

During Oasis, Sanctuary’s executives announced several enhancements to its platform, allowing Partner Firms to better position their practices for success in the evolving wealth management industry while continuing to service their clients with distinction.

Digital Asset Platform: Sanctuary is excited to announce a digital asset platform that will be available to advisors by the end of the year. Built on a foundation of education, training, due diligence and research Sanctuary Wealth advisors will now be able to recommend certain ETFs, models and alternatives in the fast growing digital asset class.

Wove: At Oasis, attendees were given details of the expansion of its multi-custodial wealth management platform through a new partnership with BNY Pershing. The recently announced clearing, custody and technology agreements will provide Sanctuary Partner Firms access to BNY Pershing X’s Wove wealth management platform even with assets held with other custodians and is designed to help connect an investor’s complete financial picture in one place. Wove will allow Sanctuary to continue its growth momentum while offering elevated services to its Partner Firms.
 Affiliation Program: Sanctuary is rolling out a curriculum to complement the capital it provides to support Partner Firm’s inorganic growth efforts. Sanctuary’s high revenue and asset standards preclude some advisors from establishing their own Partner Firm on its platform, and many advisors choose to join existing Partner Firms. Others meet the criteria but prefer to join forces with someone who has already established a firm. The new program formalizes Sanctuary’s commitment to preparing and supporting its Partner Firms in absorbing such inorganic growth opportunities.

Jump AI: Advisors in the Sanctuary network now have full access to Jump’s Advisor AI software to cut meeting-related admin time by up to 90% while improving the client and advisor experience. Jump’s AI tools enable an AI-enhanced client meeting cycle by putting meeting prep, notes, CRM updates, client recap emails, financial planning data, and follow-up tasks on AI autopilot.

Google Testimonials: Sanctuary Wealth is pleased to announce that Google Testimonials have been officially approved for advisor use in line with SEC guidelines. Advisors can now leverage this powerful tool to enhance their marketing and client engagement strategies.

Malamed concluded, “I’d like to thank the advisors and their staff members who took time away from their businesses to attend, especially those from tru Independence who joined us for the first time. I’d also like to thank our strategic alliance partners, who presented terrific content and supported the conference, and our Sanctuary home-office team, who planned and executed a high-quality and flawless event.”

Legacy Launches $1M Study Advancing At-Home Semen Collection for Assisted Reproduction Technology

Published

May 11, 2026

By

NEW YORK, May 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Legacy, the leading male fertility clinic and at-home sperm testing and cryopreservation platform, today announced the Sperm Study, a clinical research initiative backed by an R&D investment of over $1 million and designed to evaluate and optimize the use of at-home semen collection for assisted reproductive technologies (ART), including IVF and IUI.

Prospectively enrolling up to 250 participants across two phases, this study represents one of the most comprehensive investigations to date into how specimen shipment, handling, and cryopreservation impact sperm quality and is expected to set a new benchmark for scientific rigor in the rapidly growing field of at-home fertility testing. This study is being conducted in collaboration with IVF Academy USA.

Raising the bar for clinical evidence in at-home fertility care

To date, validation work in at-home semen collection has been limited in important ways. Studies have largely enrolled normozoospermic men only, relied on courier-transported rather than real-world-shipped specimens, and focused on short-term motility and concentration as primary endpoints.

Critical questions remain unanswered, particularly around how samples with varying quality perform under genuine end-to-end shipping conditions, and how those samples hold up in the contexts that matter most clinically: IVF and IUI. The Sperm Study is designed to close those gaps.

This multi-phase study will evaluate key sperm quality parameters including motility, DNA fragmentation, and post-thaw viability, while also validating the use of computer-aided semen analysis (CASA) as an alternative to basic manual semen analysis in the setting of mail-in semen analysis.

“With the increased utilization of at-home semen testing and cryopreservation, there is a critical need to ensure these specimens will perform adequately when used for assisted reproduction,” said Legacy’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Scott Lundy. “This study is designed to rigorously evaluate how at-home collection and transport impact sperm quality across a broad patient population and to translate those findings into improved protocols and optimized outcomes for both patients and providers.”

Sperm study design and scientific approach

The Sperm Study is a prospectively accruing cross-sectional study in which paired semen samples are analyzed across multiple timepoints and during the shipment process. Importantly, this study enrolls participants across a range of semen quality profiles — not solely normozoospermic men — and evaluates samples under genuine shipping conditions experienced by real specimens.

Key study components include direct comparison of CASA vs. manual analysis at baseline, evaluation of motility decline over time and in relation to shipment conditions, measurement of DNA fragmentation pre- and post-shipment and cryopreservation, assessment of post-thaw sperm viability and yield, and the development of predictive algorithms for IVF/IUI sample sufficiency.

The study will also examine how factors such as transit time, concentration, and storage conditions impact outcomes, with the goal of generating generalizable insights for clinical practice.

Multi-phase rollout

Phase 1 includes 100 participants and approximately 1,500 total assays, with expected completion in 2026. Phase 2, planned for later in 2026 and into 2027, will expand the study with additional participants, bringing the total to up to 250 to enable broader validation across a more diverse patient population.

Impact on clinical practice

Findings from the Sperm Study are expected to directly inform and improve specimen collection protocols for at-home use, shipping and handling standards for semen samples, cryopreservation practices, and clinical decision-making for IVF and IUI readiness.

By generating high-quality, controlled data across a clinically representative patient population, Legacy aims to provide fertility clinics, researchers, and patients with greater confidence in the use of mail-in semen testing and cryopreservation as part of standard reproductive care.

About Legacy

Legacy is the leading male fertility clinic in the United States, offering at-home semen analysis, sperm cryopreservation, and post-vasectomy testing. With a CLIA-certified, high-complexity andrology lab and one of the largest proprietary datasets in male reproductive health, Legacy is advancing access, data, and innovation in fertility care.

CHICAGO, May 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Elks National Foundation welcomed 900 students to the Elks family, awarding more than $4.9 million in scholarships to high school seniors. An Elks scholarship is more than financial aid; it’s an invitation to a network of service-minded peers and a promise that an Elks Lodge is always there with open arms.

Out of more than 23,000 applicants for the Most Valuable Student scholarship, the Top 20 scholars received $30,000 scholarships and an invitation to Chicago for the Leadership Weekend.

From April 30-May 3, the Leadership Weekend allowed scholars to get acquainted with their new Elks family through programming facilitated by current and former Elks scholars, team-building activities, and a service opportunity.

“Leadership Weekend is one of my greatest memories,” says Emily Cai, sponsored by Toccoa, Ga., Lodge No. 1820. “I had the privilege of meeting inspirational and disciplined individuals who motivated me to become the best version of myself. I am excited to see my future with the Elks family!”

A total of 480 runners-up received $4,000 Most Valuable Student scholarships.

Service is a tenet of the Elks, which is why it’s a requirement for recipients of the $6,000 Legacy Awards scholarship, which is exclusively for the children or grandchildren of Elks members. The new class of 400 scholars will serve with an Elks Lodge three times during the four years they receive the scholarship.

“This award means a great deal to me and my family,” says Kelly Butler, sponsored by Haverstraw, N.Y., Lodge No. 877. “Knowing that the Elks have invested in my future motivates me to continue working hard and striving toward my goals.”
