Seminars

In October 2009, we trialled a new model in response to feedback from our major conferences. We heard there was a demand for smaller events, with specific senior delegates, to review a subject in more depth and rigour than mass conferences allow. In conjunction with a sponsor, our aim is to bring together the top execs in a specialised area both as speakers and delegates, to debate, discuss and learn more about select topics. The initial seminar on Stochastic Modelling was a success and we are repeating this approach with the seminars noted below.





  • Discretionary Management Forum - 2 Feb 2010, IOD, City of London. Click here to view the agenda.

The Platforum have teamed up with threesixty and Raymond James to offer IFAs a half day seminar examining the practicalities of delivering discretionary investment management to clients.

  • Employee benefits platforms - 28 Jan 2010, Logica, Kings Place, London. Click here to see the draft agenda.

“Platforms moving into the employee benefit space - an over-engineered provider push or a modern must have for today’s employers?”

The session will be split into 2 principal sessions, addressing firstly what is required for the employee and employer and secondly, what building blocks are available to build this?

  • Networking seminar for women working with fund platforms – 5th November, Skandia (London Offices). Click here to see a pdf of the agenda.

  • Stochastic Modelling: Are we talking black swans or ugly ducklings? – 2nd October, Henderson Global Investors. Click here to see a pdf of the agenda and also to view the white paper that was produced after the event for mass circulation.

Please contact us if you have a suggestion for a current, topical seminar of general interest or are interested in running a seminar with The Platforum.


Conferences

We run a series of different events to communicate the latest news and developments to do with platforms. Our aim is to help delegates and clients develop strategies and products, as well as learn about all the different providers and options to them. Annual conferences:
