IFP conference ends on a high with positive delegate feedback
The Institute of Financial Planning annual conference has ended for another year with excellent feedback from delegates and high praise for speakers.
The IFP conference, the biggest UK Financial Planning event, attracted more than 600 delegates this year and tickets are already selling for 2013.
Keynote speeches by motivational speaker John Cremer and Carl Richards from The Behavior Gap were particularly popular with delegates.
Outside of the keynotes, session speakers such as Pete Matthew from MeaningfulMoney and Simon Boulter from BoulterBowen were popular.
Ian O'Connor from Astute Financial Planning said: "I thought Simon Boulter's speech was absolutely brilliant, it brought out emotion in me, was really heartfelt and very relevant."
Sue Whitbread, IFP communication director, said: "It's been our most successful conference ever. The 'Inspiring Trust' theme has really taken hold and people have thought about their proposition with renewed focus.
"The non-practitioner sessions have been particularly good, we haven't had a negative comment about any of the speakers."
Next year's conference will be held from 30 September-2 October and delegates can buy tickets now for 2012 rates.
