Insightful sessions, invaluable networking opportunity and CPD!
We've taken member feedback on board and are making some exciting changes to our regional conferences during 2023. You can expect:
During the event you will experience a day of topical and insightful business updates which all contribute to your CPD. At the heart of this will be presentations delivered by a number of leading subject matter experts. The conference offers a great opportunity for networking and sharing good practice with your peers, local to where you live and/or work.
Throughout the day your local PFS regional committee will provide updates on new developments and initiatives from across the Personal Finance Society, helping you stay informed about the benefits of membership and to take away information which may benefit colleagues and others in your practice/firm.
A detailed agenda will be available approximately six weeks before the start of each round of events.
Lunch and refreshments will be provided. Delegates will be eligible to claim 3 hours 5 minutes CPD.
Please note the agenda is provisional and may be subject to change.
As a PFS member, you are permitted to attend one event in each series free of charge at your preferred location. If you would like to attend more than one and take the opportunity to be a partner, please contact our Partnerships Team for more information.
Non-members are welcome to attend their first event free of charge. After this, we will contact you about joining the PFS to be able to access further events and services.

Discuss a number of key priorities and processes advisers are implementing for consumer duty.
In this session, we provide a practical and in-depth look at proven, science-based strategies to help financial planning professionals improve their influencing skills and consistently persuade others. Increasing your influencing skills helps to build credibility, develop and maintain trusted relationships and improve results. Consumer Duty places such an emphasis on how advisers demonstrate and charge for the value they provide. It also focuses on the importance of clients understanding the advice we offer to make better and informed decisions. Those advisers who communicate clearly, concisely and persuasively can successfully navigate their clients and their business through the Consumer Duty requirements with ease.
The Products & Services Outcome and the “avoid causing foreseeable harm” rule will each mean revisiting and updating due diligence reviews on every provider an adviser recommends. And the FCA’s latest Dear CEO letter (issued 2/12/2022) reminded advisers (again) that due diligence (particularly in relation to investments) must be “robust”, so advisers need to take this seriously. This session looks at how to approach this, what you need to look at, how you can evidence your review and the tools to streamline the process for you.
