Employers in Finance
Financial Planning is one of the most rewarding careers available, but the barriers to entry mean that this is lost in translation. This festival will remove those barriers and share the amazing career opportunities for students and graduates.
We want to send a message to the financial planners of the future that the profession is moving forward and that innovation is very much alive. CHANGE. will inspire younger financial planners to continue to bring financial services into the 21st Century.
The financial planning profession is well-known for being a welcoming option for second careerists. Our festival will once again integrate them as part of the conversation about the future of our profession.
Recruiting great talent is one of the greatest challenges in the financial planning profession. This event strives to connect ambitious individuals with those looking to recruit, forging great relationships and potential opportunities.
Not your average finance event.
