Last week more than 2,000 advisors and their allies gathered for Charles Schwab's 27th annual Impact conference, this time at McCormick Place in Chicago. The conference wrapped up on Friday with one final round of breakout sessions and brunch. The closing keynote sessions featured Chicago Cubs baseball operations president Theo Epstein being interviewed by a surprise guest, famed historian Doris Kearns Goodwin.

Before attendees grabbed their boxed lunches and headed for the airports, the Schwab team revealed the planned time and date for Impact 2018: October 28-31 in Washington, D.C.

In case you missed the conference last week and want to catch up, here's links to the rest of MFWire's coverage of Impact 2017:

• "A Treat for Cubs and Red Sox Fans"



• "Gundlach Fears 2018 Will Spell Recession"



• "Awards, Leon Bridges, and More"



• "Walt, Unscripted"



• "Talking to Walt"



• "Week In Preview"

The industry events calendar is understandably quiet this week, so MFWire is taking a break from its regular "Week In Preview" column. The MFWire team wishes you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving!
