Following from the HUGE success of the inaugural PIMFA Women’s Symposium 2024, we are delighted to announce details of the 2025 event.
The Women’s Symposium is PIMFA’s annual summit dedicated to the investment management, financial advice and wealth management communities. Taking place over two days, the summit will feature cutting edge though leadership, high profile speakers, and lively discussions on a range of topics, including personal development, the latest investment trends, and practice management. The event will create a collaborative space for professionals to network, learn and share best practice from across their professional world.
We encourage individuals at all stages of their career, from Chief Executives to Interns, to join us for two days of motivational talks, regulatory updates, industry panels, personal development roundtables and thought-provoking content related to our industry, and to career development.
The 2024 event was such a huge success that we expect this event to sell out very quickly so early booking is highly recommended.
