Empowering Advice Through Technology

Empowering Advice Through Technology (EATT)

The one-day workshop for advice firms who want to put technology at the heart of their business

The “Empowering Advice Through Technology” (EATT) conference is a one-day event designed for financial advisers who want to leverage technology to improve their businesses. The 2026 event took place on Thursday 29 January at The Pullman Hotel, London.

Here’s what makes EATT unique:

Focus on Enhancing the Advisor, Business, and Client Experiences (AX, BX, CX): The conference explores how technology can enhance these three crucial aspects of an advisory firm.
Practical Advice and Solutions: EATT goes beyond mere discussions and focuses on providing advisers with actionable takeaways and strategies for implementing technology.
“Battle of the Tech” Demos: A highlight of the conference is a series of fast-paced demonstrations showcasing innovative technology solutions for the financial advisory sector.
Exhibition Area: Attendees have the opportunity to interact with software vendors, learn about new products and services, and get their questions answered directly.
Expert Speakers and Networking Opportunities: Industry experts and fellow advisers share insights and best practices, and attendees can network and collaborate with peers.

In essence, EATT is more than just a conference; it’s a platform for financial advisers to explore, understand, and implement the latest technologies to transform their businesses, enhance client relationships, and improve efficiency.
