Liz Field, chief executive officer at PIMFA, said: “This event is by far the biggest conference we have run to date, and the sheer breadth of content available speaks to the variety and diversity of firms, roles, and areas that make up this critical industry.

“It also incorporates the insights from our Leading Lights report highlighting the importance of trust, culture and technological innovation, but also the critical role financial advice and planning plays in improving long-term financial wellbeing.

“The event aims to provide a forum to share best practice and take real steps toward building a fairer, more inclusive industry, while also providing practical, professional orientated content on a range of themes that will be of practicable use to individuals and our firms in their day-jobs.”
