For five years, this event was Evolution. Then last year, our CEO revealed the truth: evolution is too slow, too passive. Real change requires intention. That’s when Evolution became Transformation — and the room transformed, quite literally.
Change is happening across society, our industry and within each of us. Transformation is where we explore it all in a modern, relaxed and genuinely inclusive space — blending big thinking with practical wisdom, CPD with real connection and quality content with well-earned pockets of fun to keep the day energised.
Expect inspiring speakers, interactive sessions and actionable insight. Whether you’re navigating AI, regulation or shifting client trends, you’ll find the tools, energy and community to move forward with confidence. This is more than a conference — it reconnects you with what’s possible and sends you back ready to create real change.
Inspiration, engaging keynotes taking to the main stage.
Top quality content and CPD from industry experts on hot topics.
A warm, friendly audience of financial services professionals.
A partner zone full of engaging exhibitors and a live podcast.
At last year's event, Cathi took to the main stage and highlighted the need for more drastic change; so we waved goodbye to Evolution and said hello to Transformation - complete with a live re-brand and outfit change!
Our series of keynote speakers and headline partners took to the stage, covering a series of hot topics, and our partner zone was full of engaging exhibitors, impactful conversation and of course - some snazzy merch!
The transformation wouldn't have been complete without our special guests; Bumblebee and Optimus Prime.

Going to sound sad, but for me, the best part of the day was Cathi's opening speech. She struck a lot of business anxiety cards and I felt relieved to be with the right group to make sure I make the right decisions in the future.
My favourite part of the day was being surrounded by so many inspiring people in one space. The talks were brilliant, the energy was uplifting, and I loved the chance to connect with old friends and make new ones.
The day flowed perfectly and I loved the fact that the space (and Verve team) were 'transformed' during the day. The transformers were a brilliant addition and the theme was great. It was all very well thought out.
Great to catch up with people and have the chance to network with a great group of people. Throw in great talks covering a variety of topics, and interesting exhibitors to talk to - was there a bad bit?
I loved all of it, but I really appreciated and enjoyed all of the creativity that went into Evolution and Transformation.
You can really feel that the event is a labour of love for the Verve team.
