Our ambition is to create an open community of like-minded financial services professionals to meet and share ideas. At this digital event, you’ll be able to do just that.  You will hear from experts on the science of wellbeing; exploring if money really does make us happy, financial wellbeing coaching practices and so much more.

You’ll also hear more about what the IFW does, and how you can get involved in changing the way financial planning and advice is delivered.

Who is this conference for?

This is a conference open to all. We want the debate about money and happiness to involve everyone.

If you are a financial adviser, coach, planner, paraplanner, practice manager, fintech startup, product provider, marketing expert, charity or just an interested party – the IFW will help you to help your clients become happier as well as wealthier.

It is also CPD accredited so you can take care of your annual CPD in one week!
