"I was really impressed with the speakers, and the smaller group format made it so easy to have a relaxed conversation. That made everyone enthusiastic to join in, so I feel I actually got to connect with the people in my group. I'll definitely be coming to the next GROW event."

CHRISTINE FOUND, GROSVENOR

"There was a really good mix of providers, theory and behavioural side of things and then into practice with Aspen's session. It was great to connect with local financial advisers, exchanging numbers, making new connections - it makes a difference to be close to home rather than travel to London. I've already planned to go to upcoming conferences with people I've met today."

RIKESH BHATT, 8 FINANCIAL PLANNING

"I really enjoyed the format. It's so important to get together in person! I knew Verve would choose the speakers really well."

SAM SECOMB, WOMEN'S WEALTH

THE AGENDA

navigating pension iht changes

With quilter

Inheritance Tax (IHT) has taken centre stage this year, and we've been fortunate to host several insightful webinars with Quilter, breaking down the changes and what they mean for you.

Thanks to overwhelming demand for more on this topic, we’re excited to bring you an in-person, interactive session as part of the October GROW: On Tour events.

In a rapidly changing financial landscape - make sure you stay ahead of the curve. This insightful session will focus on the impact of the pension IHT changes and how you can future proof your advice strategies.

mps vs multi-asset funds: navigating the best of both worlds

with marlborough

This interactive session is designed to challenge conventional thinking and spark meaningful debate. Get ready to explore the full spectrum of multi-asset solutions - from MPS and Multi-Asset Funds to bespoke portfolios and even the creation of proprietary funds.

Is there a definitive “best” approach? Or is that simply a matter of perspective - shaped by the manufacturer’s own proposition? Join Marlborough as they unpack the nuances, weigh the trade-offs, and help you navigate the evolving landscape with clarity and confidence.

compliance confessionals

with verve

Every firm has them: the near-misses, the awkward “is this allowed?” moments, and the compliance slip-ups that no one wants to admit to. In Compliance Confessionals, we’re pulling back the curtain on real (and safely anonymised) stories from financial planning firms - the good, the bad, and the “you couldn’t make it up."

This isn’t another dry compliance session. Think case studies with a twist.

You’ll hear true-to-life scenarios, debate what should have happened, and discover how to turn compliance headaches into practical lessons.
