MGM National Harbor Hotel & Casino

What will your legacy be?
In Tyler Perry's Beauty in Black, the Bellaire family fought over a $376 million inheritance. But legacy isn't just about wealth—it's about preparation, protection, and the decisions we make today.
On June 27, actor Ricco Ross joins entrepreneur Laurie Sayles and a powerful lineup of business, financial, and legal experts for The Legacy Blueprint: Resilience. Ownership. Wealth.
Hosted at MGM National Harbor, this one-of-a-kind experience is designed for entrepreneurs, professionals, families, and future legacy-builders who are ready to take control of their financial future and create lasting impact.
You'll gain practical insights on:
• Building and protecting wealth • Entrepreneurship and business ownership • Trusts, wills, and estate planning • Financial empowerment and asset protection • Resilience through adversity • Creating a legacy that lasts beyond your lifetime
Whether you're building a business, growing your career, planning for retirement, or creating opportunities for future generations, The Legacy Blueprint will provide the tools, conversations, and connections to help you move forward with confidence.
Because legacy doesn't happen by accident. It happens by design.
Why You Should Attend
Success without a plan is temporary; legacy is intentional.
This event is for everyone, ages 18 and above who are ready to elevate their mindset, strengthen their network, and gain real tools for creating long-term success.
