The professional body for Chartered Financial Planners is holding four events across the country.
The attendance for the conference at Wembley Stadium in London is set to be 718, the PFS told Financial Planning Today.
The Birmingham event is expected to be the second largest, with 527 guests, while 296 are set to attend the Edinburgh event.
Some 321 are signed up to attend Celtic Manor resort in Newport, Wales – the same venue that hosted the CISI’s first ever Financial Planning Conference earlier this month. It was the continuation of the old IFP Annual Conference, which had been held at the venue for most of the last ten years.
Former IFP chief executive Steve Gazzard will be among the PFS line up of key speakers for all four events.
In addition to these numbers, each symposium will have 36 exhibitors who will have access to two additional delegate passes - meaning numbers are boosted by an extra 72 at each.
The PFS is also running a special event in Belfast entitled Financial Planning in Focus. For this there are 134 registered attendees and 10 exhibitors who have access to two additional delegate passes.
Dates: The symposiums take place at:
• Newport (Celtic Manor Resort) - 10 November
• Edinburgh (International Conference Centre) - 16 November
• London (Wembley Stadium) - 24 November
• Birmingham (National Motorcycle Museum) - 29 November
The PFS events are going to “celebrate the evolution of the story of Financial Planning” by taking inspiration from William Shakespeare.
The PFS stated: “Never before has professional financial planning been so central to Government policy and never before has it been so important for us to tell our story to a public desperately in need of our services.
“Successful Financial Planners know only too well the power of storytelling in helping clients to understand and prioritise their goals as well as realise the potential consequences of inaction.”
Other speakers include PFS chief executive Keith Richards, on the evolution of advice and Chartered Financial Planner Jason Butler, who will discuss how the way that people access, experience and pay for financial advice is going to undergo a radical transformation due to technological innovation.
