2021 Annual Conference

Chaired by the business journalist and presenter Adam Shaw. This year’s conference was like no other. The events of 2020 shifted the way we all communicate with people. The previous eight Dynamic Planner Annual Conferences have been all about connection and community, that is why this year we delivered the annual conference, broadcast style, into the homes of our community, allowing us to connect virtually.

In a day of insight, attendees enjoyed panel debates featuring industry CIO’s and leading members of the media. What do UK and global markets look like post-Brexit and as economies bid to recover from Covid? Attendees had the opportunity to hear from top asset managers and their take on topics. Plus, in his 2021 Conference keynote, Dynamic Planner CEO Ben Goss discussed the future of financial planning technology at a pivotal time for firms.
