Key themes

Mortgages

There's never been a more exciting time to work in the mortgage industry. Trends in housing supply, increased consumer concern about the environment, and economic uncertainty, provide opportunities for the sector as well as challenges.

This conference will help you explore the issues, learn more, and draw your own conclusions from some of the most experienced experts in the sector.

Equity release

Demand for equity release and later life products continues to grow. We'll examine new trends in the market and look closely at new customer bases.


We’ll talk about how to get into this area of the business, and – for those already working in equity release – how to stay ahead, improve business performance and serve your customers better.

Protection

In troubled times, protection is more important than ever, but it’s sometimes difficult to keep up with the vast array of products. How could advising on protection be made easier?


We’ll examine the latest innovations and consider in depth the relationship between protection and mortgage advisers.
