Grow on Tour: Building the firm of the future

We’re heading out on tour again, and this time we’re building the firm of the future with Aberdeen, AJ Bell, Octopus Investments and Vanguard.

GROW on Tour is our free CPD roadshow, bringing together advisers, paraplanners and compliance professionals for small group learning with expert speakers.

Our learning theme for October? Building the firm of the future.

How does GROW on Tour work?

Our free roadshow brings together industry experts to deliver hot-topic insights in easily accessed cities across the UK.  

Each event provides 5 hours of free CPD and runs from 10am – 3pm. No fighting with traffic or anti-social start times.

There are 4 expert learning sessions punctuated with coffee, networking and lunch on us. Actually, it’s all on us – GROW on Tour tickets are free!

What’s the learning format at GROW on Tour?

Each GROW on Tour date is split into 4 individual sessions, each testing different dimensions of firms’ future readiness.

We split off into smaller groups of 10-20, and speakers rotate between the groups. So there’s no awkward shuffling around, losing your notes or hiding at the back behind a laptop.

The vibe is friendly, informal, and chatty – we highly encourage shouting out with questions, and we’ve been known to give out prizes for people who share a story or two.

Who are the experts at GROW on Tour?

For October’s round of GROW on Tour, we’ll be joined by:

💡Aberdeen on Consumer Duty: Move from box-ticking to meet the regulatory bar, to using Consumer Duty as a tool for building a better business.

💡AJ Bell on IHT planning and strategy: A fresh take on wrapper strategy built for an industry mid-transformation, so your approach evolves alongside the rules rather than lagging behind them.  

💡Octopus Investments on Business Relief conversations: Understand what's changed and walk away ready to have those client conversations with confidence.

💡Vanguard on AI in advice, and the latest on Adviser Alpha: Learn where AI adds value, and how to futureproof your practice around it without being reshaped by it.

Visit the Grow on Tour website to view the full agenda.

Who is GROW on Tour for?

GROW on Tour is purposely designed for advisers, paraplanners, compliance professionals and business owners looking to futureproof their firm. As we tackle Building the firm of the future, you’ll also get plenty of practical guidance to take back to your firm and put to work.
