Maja Garatsa Djurdjevic, wealth editor at Momentum Media, said of the meeting: “As the impact of COVID-19 begins to wane, we are greeted by new challenges in the form of adverse weather events and war, which exact a cruel human and economic toll. These developments are changing the way we live and work and are forcing advisors to re-engineer their businesses to keep up with the times.

“The financial services ecosystem is evolving rapidly, changing the way advisers work,” she continued, “from DeFi to blockchain, finfluencers and more, navigating innovation in advice has never been more challenging.

“As such, this year’s Advisor Innovation Summit aims to help you become familiar with the threats and opportunities unique to advisors, offering you a support system as you continue to educate your clients during challenging situations and times.”
