Financial Services Council annual get-together booked for September

New Zealand's biggest adviser conference returning to live event

New Zealand’s largest annual adviser event will be held at the Cordis Hotel in Auckland on September 21 and 22 – in person for the first time since 2019.

The theme for this year’s Financial Services Council NZ conference reflects the FSC’s vision to grow the financial confidence and wellbeing of New Zealanders.

FSC CEO Richard Kilpin (pictured) said the FSC 2022 conference is designed to help those in the sector be better advocates for consumers and help grow financial confidence and wellbeing.

“We are delighted to be able to extend an invitation to the FSC Conference 2022, a fixture that has become an unmissable event on the annual calendar,” Kilpin said.

“It is our flagship event, and we look forward to welcoming delegates to come together and debate the issues of financial confidence and wellbeing in New Zealand.”

FSC is optimistic those active in sector will connect in person at the upcoming conference for the first time in two years. 

“There is no doubt that the last few years have and continue to be challenging with the impact of COVID-19, alongside global and local changes in our sector and beyond,” Kilpin said.

“This conference is an opportunity to come together and delve into the key issues affecting the financial services industry in both New Zealand and across the globe.”

Across two days, delegates will hear from approximately 140 global leaders and experts in more than 40 specially curated sessions.

“Our motto of great content drives great conferences will see our members working with the FSC team to curate and finalise stand out content for 2022,” he said.

“Delegates will have the chance to engage with New Zealand’s top political, regulatory and industry leaders on the big issues and challenge how the industry delivers life and health insurance, investments, and KiwiSaver to New Zealanders.”

FSC will offer networking, business building, and connecting activities for new and emerging business with the return of Pitch Perfect and Tech Alley – a platform for local fintech, insurtech, healthtech, edutech and regtech companies to pitch their products to the industry.
