What is Investival?
Investival is our flagship event – open exclusively to financial advisers, and widely recognised as the UK’s original investment conference. For over a decade, we’ve brought together the most influential voices in the industry – including Cormac Weldon, Terry Smith, Edward Bonham Carter and Jim Leaviss to name just a few.
Alongside these leading fund managers, we’ve also welcomed special guests like Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Billy Billingham, and Ian Wright, whose stories of resilience and leadership have added a unique dimension to the Investival experience.
We could try and describe the atmosphere at Investival, but as a picture speaks a thousand words, we’ve decided to let some photos do the talking instead. Have a look through our gallery and see what happened at our previous events.

I suffer from sensory issues – will this be an issue?
To add to the ‘festival’ experience there will be loud music, bright lights and potentially a smoky atmosphere for a short duration, both at the start of the conference and also at the mid-point after lunch. If you don’t wish to experience this, please wait until our opening acts have concluded before entering the auditorium.
Is Investival a free event?
Yes – for professional advisers only. Any wealth manager or fund group in attendance will have paid a sponsorship fee. No other groups will be permitted entry. Our guest lists is vetted and verified, and only registered individuals wearing a lanyard will be allowed entry. This event is not suitable for retail clients.
What CPD is available?
Five hours. Before issuing CPD certificates, we need to validate attendance, and so require a registration record (print badge) as well as a feedback form with your ratings of the speakers you’ve watched. This can be done online via the app, or using a paper form which you can complete on the day and leave at reception before you go home.
Will food and drinks be provided?
Breakfast will be served upon arrival, followed by lunch and two scheduled coffee breaks to keep you refreshed. Drinks will also be available throughout the day, and we’ll round things off with networking drinks later in the afternoon.
If you have any specific dietary requirements, you can let us know when you register online so we can accommodate your needs. We may not be able to accommodate requests made less than 48 hours before the event.
Is there a dress code for the event?
The dress code is business casual – your comfort is key. Please note that the auditorium can become warm, especially later in the day with the accumulated heat of lights, equipment and a full auditorium, so we suggest you wear layers that you can remove if needed.
