The 2010 IFP Conference - four reasons to be there

We are still six months away from another superb IFP Conference at Celtic Manor but the team at Whitefriars have already announced our keynote speakers and they give a strong flavour of the main themes of the conference

Mark Tibergien, CEO of Pershing Advisor Solutions, made a significant impression on those who heard him speak last year. Mark is an expert at making financial planning practices work. He is the author of Practice Made Perfect, the financial planning practice business managers’ bible, and this year he will use his keynote speech to highlight the ten big things we need to do to build our own perfect practice.

Graham Codrington of Tomorrow Today returns to the conference to develop ideas about the key drivers of change that are re-shaping the business landscape. We anticipate some serious paradigm shifting in this session, which delegates might find either extremely painful or exhilarating and inspiring.

Karren Brady will close the conference for us. Karren is Alan Sugar’s newly appointed assistant on the Apprentice as well as football’s “First Lady”. Karren is a passionate straight talker. She will use her experience as a highly successful business woman to inspire and motivate us to fulfil our potential before kicking us out of Celtic Manor to put into practice the ideas and inspirations that we will all come away with.

And there is much more. Keep an eye on the Conference website to read about more speakers as they are announced. The early bird discount ends on 24th May so try and book before then.

Speakers are important but it is the delegates who have made the conference the success it has been over the last few years. We all bring experience, knowledge and energy to share with our fellow delegates. The more of us there are at Celtic Manor from 20 to 22 September the better.
