FSC25 Conference Theme
The theme of the FSC25 Conference was 'Transforming for Tomorrow'
The conference design incorporates the geometric patterns of Māori weaving, with squares and triangles symbolising direction, purpose, and depth.
These shapes represent changes and interconnected pathways within the financial services community, reinforcing our shared commitment to growing financial confidence and wellbeing for all New Zealanders.
Conference Charity Partner
A total of $7,410 was raised for the FSC25 Conference Charity Partner, to help meet their target of assisting 6,000 women per year by 2027.
Tech Alley is marketplace where attendees could meet with pioneering FinTech, InsurTech, HealthTech, EduTech and RegTech Kiwi companies, learn about their products and understand how they could help enhance their businesses and the financial services sector.
Tech Alley was located as part of the main sponsorship and partner exhibition area.
The Financial Services Council aims to fuel innovation in the sector and Pitch Perfect sparks that flame. All startup tech companies and Tech Alley attendees were welcome to pitch their tech at our breakfast session on 21 September, and the winners were invited to pitch their innovation on the main plenary stage later that day. See the winners here.
The Financial Services Council and Voices of Hope have formed a wonderful partnership over the past few years and we were delighted to announce them as our charity partner for the 2022 Conference.
The work they do to create and implement change for mental health through stories of lived experience, is so incredibly important on an individual, communal and global scale. All donations make a huge difference to the work Voices of Hope do and are greatly appreciated.

FSC24 Conference: Consumer Resilience and Prosperity
The FSC24 Conference built on the success of previous years, marking the first time our annual event was sold out.
The discussions focused on the sector's role in enhancing the resilience of everyday New Zealanders and guiding them toward greater prosperity.
We welcomed over 700 delegates with 26 sponsors and 128 speakers across 40 sessions from 3 - 5 September 2024 at The Cordis Hotel.
Building Consumer Confidence 2023
The FSC. Conference 2023 'Building Consumer Confidence' was highly anticipated, with the 2023 election taking place in the following months.
Over 900 attendees were recorded, with a record attendance of Senior Minsters and officials taking to the plenary stage.
Growing Financial Confidence & Wellbeing in Aotearoa 2022
The FSC. Conference 2022 theme reflected the FSC. Vision to ‘Grow the Financial Confidence and Wellbeing of New Zealanders’.
Our 2022 theme built on those from previous conferences including ReGenerations, and acted as our guide as we continue our journey through uncertain pandemic and economic times.
We welcomed over 645 delegates, sponsors and speakers back in person to the FSC. Conference 2022 at The Cordis Hotel in Auckland over the 21 + 22 September 2022.
ReGenerations Conference 2021
Our 2021 conference 'ReGenerations' built on previous themes of Wellbeing, Sustainability and Guardianship. The Maori whakataukī (or proverb), He Waka Eke Noa, builds on these themes by highlighting the importance of recovery and going forward together in both good and trying times. With a literal translation 'We are all in this waka (canoe) together' this whakataukī centres in meaning around our whānau and community: being on the same journey, headed to the same destination and leaving no one behind.
The 2021 conference ran digitally over nine weeks with 16 sessions and two conference day sessions, with breakfast, main plenary and sundowner sessions.
With 148 speakers and over 37 sessions, the ReGenerations Digital Conference 2021 saw over 950 registrations with over 4000 session attendees.
Generations Conference 2020
The 2020 theme, Generations, reflected not only the responsibility that the financial services sector has to support our different generations to save, invest and retire well, but also challenged each and every one of us to be better. Better custodians for future Generations, better at supporting our teams and our customers balance their wellbeing, and better at creating a sustainable future.
The 2020 conference was fully digital over three days, with breakfast, main plenary and sundowner sessions.
With 120+ speakers and over 35 sessions, the Generations Digital Conference 2020 saw 1550 live attendees.
