Financial Services Council announces flagship event

The Financial Services Council has announced the launch of its flagship event ahead of the 2023 election.

FSC’s Building Consumer Conference will be held on Aug. 15-17 at The Cordis Hotel in Auckland to connect New Zealand’s financial services community.

The event will bring together leaders from across the political spectrum, alongside regulators, chief economists, academics, and local and international experts, to share about the latest research and insights on how to build consumer confidence and financial wellbeing.

“New Zealanders continue our journey through uncertain global and domestic times as we continue to grapple with the tail of COVID-19, extreme weather events and economic uncertainty,” FSC CEO Richard Klipin (pictured above) said. “The theme of this year’s conference, Building Consumer Confidence, is therefore about unpacking how we can all work together to support those who need it most.

“The government and opposition have some policy decisions to make ahead of the upcoming election, and we look forward to once again engaging with political leaders to collaborate on how we can all shape New Zealanders’ financial futures.”

The conference includes a bumper programme of member-only masterclasses, panel discussions, keynotes, innovative exhibition spaces, as well as focused sessions that delve into key challenges and opportunities to build consumer confidence.

The sessions will cover FSC’s focus areas, including KiwiSaver, investment and funds, life and health insurance, diversity and inclusion, and workplace savings.

This year’s event will also include the gala dinner, where winners of the 2023 FSC Awards will be announced.
