Location: The Royal Institution
NextWealth Live is our annual conference that brings together a community of thinkers and leaders to discuss and debate the forces shaping what’s next in wealth. The theme for the 2021 conference is ‘reimagining retail investing’. We will challenge business models, customer perception, financial planning versus financial advice, the role of tech in reshaping our industry and the future of the product.
The NextWealth Live conference will again take place at The Royal Institution on the 22 March 2022. The Royal Institution is famously where Michael Faraday discovered electro-magnetism. Like Faraday, we believe we need to push the boundaries of discovery.
