On 14th May 2026, Magazine London will transform into the beating heart of the UK financial advice profession. This isn’t just another conference. Adviser 3.0 is a full-scale, high-energy, future-focused experience designed to challenge your thinking, sharpen your skills, and immerse you in the ideas, innovations, and people shaping the next era of financial advice.
This year’s theme, The Pulse of Possibility: Ambition, Transformation, and the Human Edge in a Digital World, runs through every keynote, breakout, and conversation. It’s about tapping into the opportunities created by technology, while staying true to the uniquely human qualities that set great advisers apart. It’s about the courage to think differently, the drive to transform your practice, and the insight to seize the possibilities ahead.
Why Adviser 3.0 Is Different
In an industry where conferences can often feel predictable, Adviser 3.0 stands apart. The agenda isn’t about talking at you. It’s about drawing you into dynamic, high-impact sessions and connecting you with forward-thinking peers.
The venue itself is part of the magic. Magazine London’s huge open spaces and panoramic views of Canary Wharf set the stage for an event that feels as bold and modern as the ideas being shared. Every space has been carefully designed around a different theme - each one delivering a unique energy and experience.
The Stages & Spaces You’ll Explore
Ocean Stage - Where the Tide of Innovation Rises
The main stage is where big ideas make waves. Expect powerful keynote sessions, thought-provoking panel debates, and an opening that’ll have the whole room buzzing.

Here, you’ll feel The Pulse of Possibility in action: ambition sparking ambition, with transformation taking centre stage.
Miami Beach Stage - Fresh Thinking, Coastal Vibes

Sunset Studio - Candid Conversations, Cultural Insights
This stage is about the conversations that linger long after the event ends. Expect live podcast recordings, energetic debates, and intimate interviews with some of the most inspiring minds in advice, investing, and business leadership.
