The world is changing. The regulator is changing. Your clients are changing. Are you? We’ve already explored why evolution is no longer enough in financial services; at our annual conference last year we even ‘transformed’ mid-event. And this year, we go deeper!
Transformation is the event like no other in financial services – and tickets are now on sale for this year’s conference on 8th September at 133 Houndsditch, London.
We’re very excited to introduce our first speakers Introducing our first speakers for Transformation 2026: Dr Eliza Filby, Lucy Castledine and Spencer Matthews.
Meet them below, and don’t forget to grab your ticket today before we sell out.
Dr Eliza Filby helps businesses understand how demographic and cultural change reshapes behaviour at every level.
What truly drives today’s clients – and tomorrow’s?
Being ready for transformation starts with understanding the world we all live in now.
Join Dr Eliza at Transformation as she sows the seeds of strategic advantage through deeper societal understanding for advisers, firm leaders and everyone in between.
More than ever, the regulatory environment is evolving at pace.
Lucy is Director of Consumer Investments at the FCA. From reactive oversight to forward-looking stewardship, she'll discuss the ways regulatory thinking is transforming, and what that means for advice firms.
If being ready for transformation means understanding what the rules are today, and why they are changing, this session with Lucy will offer invaluable industry insight for firms of all shapes and sizes.
From overcoming public and personal challenges to completing extraordinary endurance feats, Spencer's journey is about more than resilience; it’s about deliberate reinvention.
In an industry facing regulatory pressure, technological disruption and rising expectations, that mindset becomes a competitive advantage.
Spencer will explore what it takes for individuals to move from old identity to new identity, and why discipline and self-leadership are essential for those navigating constant change - because firms don't transform unless people do.
On top of inspiring speakers, you can expect interactive sessions and practical insights you can take away and action the same day. This is a conference that’s educational as well as fun, so the time away from your desk feels worth it.
