The CISI Annual Financial Planning Conference 2018 will take place this year at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole at the NEC on 1 and 2 October under the theme of 'Changing Lives.'

The CISI is to move its annual Financial Planning Conference - one of the biggest events in the Financial Planning calendar - to Birmingham after nearly 10 years at the 5 Star Celtic Manor Resort in South Wales.

The CISI has made available a video of former IFP chief executive Nick Cann's moving speech at this year's CISI-IFP Financial Planning Conference which earned him two standing ovations from delegates.

The CISI has called its 2017 annual Financial Planning Conference at Celtic Manor Resort in Newport, Wales "a great success."
