REGISTRATION NOW OPEN

Visitor registrations are now open for the Financial Services Expo 2013 (FSE) to be held on the 1st and 2nd October at Old Billingsgate in central London.

While 2013 represents the first instalment of the exhibition, it is the brainchild of Front Events which is headed up by James Prosser who has 13 years of experience in this field.

As well as a range of lending and industry exhibitors, the event will also play host to a packed seminar programme – put together by the Association of Mortgage Intermediaries, the Intermediary Mortgage Lender's Association, IFA Centre and Mortgage Advice Bureau who will be hosting protection-led sessions – consisting of training, regulatory and lending updates enabling attendees to fulfil their CPD requirements.

The launch of the event coincides with something of a brave new world for advisers as they settle in to the post-RDR regime, continue their preparations for the MMR implementation next year and get used to the Financial Conduct Authority's regulatory stewardship.

FSE will be split into seven specific zones to promote an enhanced delegate experience. They are: Mortgages; Commercial; Protection; Distribution; Legal; Technology; and Alternative Lending – with the aim being to cover the broadest range of financial products and services that are available to advisers.

The exhibition has already received strong support from across the financial services industry in terms of exhibitors and sponsors, with NatWest Intermediary Solutions and Santander two of the latest names to join a roster that already includes the likes of Barclays/Woolwich, BM Solutions, Halifax, Nationwide and Virgin Money.

James Prosser, Director of Front Events, commented:

"Since first unveiling FSE in June, the team have received plenty of encouraging feedback from key industry figures and visitor registrations now opening is another exciting phase of the gestation period. 2013 has represented something of a crossroads for advisers what with RDR being implemented, the FCA assuming regulatory control of the market and MMR looming ever closer, so it feels like the perfect time to launch an event that caters for intermediaries across the financial services sphere.

"The wealth of exhibitors and sponsors wanting to become involved with FSE proves that the industry was primed for a new type of event and we are confident this reaction will be mirrored by strong registration numbers. Delegates can be assured that attending the event will not only afford them the unrivalled opportunity to meet the best of breed providers across a number of sectors, but also the chance to network with their peers to discuss the evolution of the adviser's role in the evolving economic landscape. The seminar programme due to be unveiled next month also promises to be educational and informative, offering guidance in these changing times. With just under two months until doors open on the first ever FSE; don't delay – register today."
