ASCEND
ASCEND helps financial planning professionals build stronger practices. This year, we focus on the four pillars that define successful advisory practices.
You will hear from four expert speakers who each represent a different pillar. We explore how values-aligned advisors redefine value in an age of distrust, financial wellbeing and which outcomes clients value most, how clients are using AI for their financial planning and what this means for tech-enabled advisors, and how to forge a resilient practice for 2026 and beyond, including insights on the Conduct of Financial Institutions Act.
These sessions give you clear strategies you can use straight away. You will leave with practical ideas to strengthen your practice across all four pillars: being values-aligned, holistic, tech-enabled, and resilient.
Join us to learn from these experts, connect with other professionals, and take your practice forward.
