Early-bird discount tickets are currently available for the Institute of Financial Planning annual conference.

Tickets for the event, held at the Celtic Manor Resort Hotel in South Wales on 1-3 October, are discounted until 24 May.

The three-day conference has a reputation for being the leading Financial Planning conference in the UK and has prestigious speakers from all over the world.

A mix of keynote sessions and track sessions mean delegates can tailor the conference sessions around what they are interested in and what they will benefit from.

Confirmed speakers at this year’s conference include Carl Richards from Behaviour Gap and Jackie Gold, chief executive of Ann Summers.

Previous speakers from last year’s conference include John Brennan from Vanguard, Dan Sullivan from Strategic Coach, Nick Murray from The Nick Murray Company and Mike Harris from First Direct.

It is also an excellent way to gain vital CPD points especially as the RDR approaches at the end of the year.

As well as speakers, there is a large exhibition area with sponsors and financial services provider firms.

Tickets for the full three days with accommodation and gala dinner cost £597 for IFP members or £836 for non-members. Without accommodation, tickets cost £344 or £481.

There are also a 15 per cent discount for three or more delegates booking from the same firm and 25 per cent discounts for Paraplanners.
