Who is eligible for a Verve Award?

The Verve Awards are open to advice firms including wealth managers, financial planners and financial advisers. We’re really keen to make it a level playing field with a particular focus on firms and their forward-thinking, creative approaches in an ever-changing advice landscape.  

When are the Verve Awards 2026?

The Verve Awards 2026 ceremony takes place on the evening of 8th September at 133 Houndsditch in London. It tops off our annual conference, Transformation, and the perfect celebratory end to a day full of learning and networking with likeminded professionals.

The nominations are open from now until 1st May. Soon after that we’ll reveal our shortlist, and the winners’ names will stay under wraps until Cathi Harrison and Jo Campbell take to the stage to announce them at the Verve Awards ceremony.

How do I get a ticket to the Verve Awards?

If you’re shortlisted for a Verve Award, you’ll automatically qualify for a complimentary ticket.  

If you’d like to attend the ceremony, entry is included in your Transformation ticket, which you can get here. Verve clients get their Transformation tickets free (and it’s only £95+VAT for other advisers), but they’re flying out fast so grab yours quickly if you’d like to be there.
