The event in Glasgow on 8 March is expected to attract more than 1000 visitors.
New for 2007 is the International Property Investment Pavilion. With one in 50 of the UK population now owning a property overseas, this section will showcase the opportunities for advisers to increase their revenue streams while helping make their clients’ foreign property dreams a reality.
Financial Services Scotland will also feature:
- 100 exhibitors including the Financial Services Authority, the Financial Ombudsman Service, Axa, Intelligent Finance, Invesco Perpetual, Kensington Mortgage Company, Nationwide, Scottish Widows, The Exchange and UCB Home Loans
- Free seminars (with Continuing Professional Development points accreditation) supported by the Council of Mortgage Lenders and the Association of Mortgage Intermediaries
- Money Marketing Live – including the Pensions, Investment and Protection Arenas
- A “Meet the Financial Services Authority” stand with the ability to pre-book sessions
Financial Services Scotland, now in its second year, includes coverage of the investment, pensions, technology, protection and mortgage markets. It is designed to be the “must attend” networking event for Scottish intermediaries. The emphasis this year is on helping advisers discover new revenue streams and finding the right tools to help provide better advice to clients.
The event incorporates Mortgage Business Expo and Money Marketing Live. The event offers a free seminar theatre and conference, distinguished keynote and expert speakers (more details to be announced soon), interactive workshops, compelling case studies and a large exhibition area.
The event takes place from 9am to 4.30pm at the SECC (Scottish Exhibition + Conference Centre) in Glasgow and is open to all authorised financial intermediaries and mortgage brokers. Entry is free but pre-registration will enable faster entry. Pre-registration and more details of events taking place at Financial Services Scotland are available at: www.financialservicesscotland.com.
Daniel Nwaokolo, show director, said: “Financial Services Scotland is undoubtedly the biggest and best event for intermediaries in Scotland. The support for last year’s event was excellent and we’ve made this year’s event even bigger in response to demand. The event is one that no independent financial adviser or broker will want to miss if they want to find new business opportunities and service clients better.”
