PFS to hold 'festival' of financial planning

The Personal Finance Society will consolidate its four national conferences into one major event next year.

It is part of its strategy to vary its professional development programme to meet the ongoing needs of a broader membership base of 37,000 financial advice professionals.

The 2017 event is expected to become the biggest conference hosted by the PFS in its history.

PFS chief executive Keith Richards said it would offer a programme of workshops, panel discussions and keynote speakers, catering to the interests of all the advice profession.

He said: “Next year’s festival will be the Personal Finance Society’s biggest ever event, and the biggest conference in the financial services calendar. 

“The event will offer members across the country an opportunity to come together in one place to network, share ideas and hear from experts across a range of sectors and areas of specialisation.” 

Plans are under way to host more than 3,000 delegates and 150 exhibitors at the festival of personal finance and financial planning at Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre on 7 and 8 November 2017.

The first details of the event were revealed to PFS members in Newport yesterday, at the first of four National Financial Planning Symposiums hosted this month. 

More than 2,000 delegates are registered to attend four Symposiums being held this month in Edinburgh, London, Birmingham and Newport.
