THIS YEAR’S FOCUS

OUR THREE CORE THEMES

All of our sessions and workshops will be shaped around what's front of mind across the industry right now.

AI IN ACTION

We're going beyond the basics this year. We're bringing together software partners who are building with agentic AI and the practitioners who are already using it to free up capacity and deliver better advisory. Expect less theory and more hands-on learning.

ADVISORY FOR TEAMS

 Firms started by freeing up compliance time to focus on advisory. Now we're looking at how to free up the owner and senior staff from being the only ones who can deliver it. We'll give you a practical roadmap to train up your team and scale.

BUILD THE FIRM YOU BELIEVE IN

We don't believe there's one right way to build a firm, and growth isn't the goal for everyone. Some of you want to scale, others want to go deeper with fewer clients. You’ll get the space, inspiration and peer-to-peer conversations to help you figure out what's right for you.

The Setlist

One day. Every session.
