Take a look back at a few moments from the Forum, and tell us: what’s one insight or conversation that has stayed with you?

Thanks again to everyone who joined us for the 2026 FPA Pittsburgh Financial Forum at the Sechler Law Firm Education Center in Warrendale. You brought the curiosity, enthusiasm, and thoughtful questions that made the day so engaging.

Thank you to our speakers for their engaging presentations and to our guests for their thoughtful questions. Your expertise and participation made this year’s Forum a meaningful exchange of ideas.

đź‘‹ Meet Anthony Semelka, one of the newest members of the FPA Pittsburgh community!

Anthony is a junior studying financial planning at Saint Vincent College. What draws him to the financial industry? The opportunity to learn something new every day.

After hearing about FPA through the Financial Plan Challenge, Anthony joined to connect with and learn from fellow financial planning professionals. Outside the classroom, he enjoys traveling and meeting new people, so we're excited to help him make new connections right here in Pittsburgh!

A favorite piece of advice he shared comes from Jim Dornan of Janney Montgomery Scott: “Price is only an issue in the absence of value.”

We're thrilled to have Anthony as part of FPA Pittsburgh. Please join us in giving him a warm welcome!
