One place, one time.

With industry defining content you cannot find anywhere else and serendipitous conversations with a genuine impact, you needed to be there...

A moment of reckoning

Our keynote speaker, General Sir Mark Carleton-Smith, one of the world’s front-line global experts on Leadership, Defence and Geopolitical Affairs stated that we were at a critical strategic new inflection point. He linked the big threats facing us today to the industry and talked about how businesses need to prepare to price in the cost of resilience.

He added that the advent of AI is leading us into a new era of data imperialism, a common theme as our keynote, Nina Schick discussed the impact of generative AI. Whilst we need to look to the future, Professor Amin Rajan quite rightly highlighted that we should devote time and resources to analysing tail risks of past events.

After some doom and gloom, some people needed a swift drink and focused on making connections. Important conversations happened at The Hub (dedicated networking space and centre for innovation), evening receptions overlooking the French Riviera, technical content workshops and at our Women Mean Business lunches.

2023 saw the launch of our Women Mean Business initiative, highlighting the voices of exceptional women and it was a great success. Leading global female CEOs and the next generation of leaders took to the stage to share their views on the evolution of the industry for our clients of today and tomorrow. Notably we had an incredible 38% female speakers, the most diverse speaker we’ve had to date.

I would be remiss not to highlight Taskforce Nyx and The Lotus Flower, two incredible women’s rights charities, who shared personal stories of courage and resilience – a testament to the enduring human spirit.

Lessons in resilience we can all learn from.

Many concluded that companies who prepare for resilience, focusing the right people, strategy, and culture will have a competitive edge in the years to come.

Relive the most impactful moments

From the AI revolution to the importance of nurturing talent industry leaders discussed the profound changes the industry will be experience in the coming months and years. Watch the IMpower 2023 highlights to hear what the experts had to say about the state of play for the wealth management industry.
