Agenda

The full-day event features discussions on findings from Datos’ proprietary research on pricing and HNW client preferences, interactive peer roundtables, and robust opportunities for networking.

Our program agenda will address the following themes:

Technology & Innovation

How firms move AI from experimentation to scaled impact — addressing platform integration, data intelligence, and the compliance infrastructure required to make smarter decisions faster. 

Talent & Advisor Excellence

How firms are equipping advisors with better tools, reducing operational friction, and building the operating models that attract, develop, and retain top talent. 

Product & Client Strategy

Drawing on new Datos Insights research from 800+ high-net-worth households, sessions examine when hybrid models create value versus friction, which segments thrive with digital advice, and how firms turn fee realization gaps, portfolio customization, and regulatory complexity into competitive advantages and profitability levers.
