TD Ameritrade CEO Tim Hockey looks at TDAI's Pepper robot. The robot drove foot traffic up fivefold at a large East Coast bank branch, said Justin Webster, director of advanced technology at TD Ameritrade. Why? People will ask robots things that they won't ask humans because they might be too embarrassed. 

Kate Healy (second from right), is the managing director of Generation Next at TDAI and led a panel on the importance of creating career paths for fresh graduates and career changers.

Advisors and vendors talked day and night at LINC. 

Dani Fava, director of institutional product strategy and development at TDAI, tries out Vuzix Blade augmented reality glasses. TDAI developed two proof of concept apps for the glasses. One identifies products and links them to stock quotes; the other uses facial recognition to identify colleagues.

Advisors booked consultations to strengthen their businesses.

LINC attendees try out Facebook's Oculus Go virtual reality headsets, watching a 360° immersive video that takes viewers from Wall Street to Silicon Valley.

Ritholtz Wealth Management's Josh Brown lent his likeness to this hologram demonstration. His secret to social media success: jeans, a white button down and a blazer.

Technologists from TD Ameritrade's Advanced Technology team dress up for their turn at the photo booth.

Tim Hockey may have held advisors' attention in the morning sessions, but Weezer was the headline of the evening.

LINC attendees go toe-to-toe on an oversized game of Pac-Man. Look out for the ghosts!

There's overstuff chairs, then there's GIANT inflatable overstuffed chairs. LINC attendees preferred the latter.

Lite brite, lite brite, attendees getting ready to see Weezer at night.

Weezer closed out the LINC conference with a show that had conference attendees on their feet and singing along.

Weezer lead vocalist Rivers Cuomo plays an acoustic version of the band's hit "Island in the Sun." Cuomo and bandmates kept the crowd on its feet at TDAI LINC 2019 in San Diego.
