Getting access to hundreds of top financial planners all in one room... we know that's worth a lot to product providers and investment houses - around a quarter of a million in sponsorship money. Call us crazy, but they can keep it.
Here's why:
BACK2Y is about something more than that.
BACK2Y is about breaking the shackles of the Financial Services Industry. It is standing up for PROPER financial planning and wishes to do so WITHOUT the influence of product providers and investment houses.
Delegates attending will be aware (or will be becoming aware) that proper Financial Planning is a client-focused service that does NOT depend on the recommendation, sale or implementation of a financial product.
We believe that financial products are merely ‘tools in the bag’ used to get the job done and can only be considered and/or implemented AFTER proper financial planning has been delivered.
We therefore believe that normal ‘Industry’ distractions should not be present to ensure the focus is on life-centered financial planning and NOT product / investment sales and distribution.
If you get that, then grab a seat. You'll be in good company.
