Toronto, February 23, 2023: Q Wealth Partners, a carefully curated partnership of forward-looking Canadian wealth managers, is excited to announce a partnership with U.S. based product studio Advisor Circle, which hosts the financial industry’s most dynamic gathering, Future Proof Festival. Through this partnership, Q Wealth Partners will serve as the official Canadian ambassadors for the event.
Taking place in Huntington Beach, California from September 10-13, 2023, this year’s Future Proof Festival is expected to attract more than 3,000 attendees, including financial advisors, institutional investors, asset managers, fintech companies, and international media. Building on the success of last year’s inaugural gathering, Future Proof 2023 will feature a more than half-mile-long experiential outdoor space featuring the latest innovations in investing, wealth management, fintech, pop culture, and the creative arts; unique brand activations and experiences; technology demos, investment-themed cooking demonstrations, musical performances, live art, and health & wellness classes.
As official ambassadors of the event, Q Wealth Partners will host the Future Proof Canadian Lounge. Also known as the “Q North” lounge, this venue will provide a gathering place exclusive to Canadian festival attendees to network, as well as exclusive content that explores similarities and differences between trends in the U.S. and the Canadian Independent advisor space.
Q-North guests will be delighted by meet-and-greet opportunities and fireside chats with some of the festival’s prominent main stage speakers. The lounge will also host a mix of industry disruptors, financial advisors, institutional allocators, asset managers, and technology providers from across the world, all with a focus on how Canadians can action the best-of-the-best trends and techniques from around the world in their companies and practices back home.
“The Canadian private wealth community is being modernized in almost every way, so it’s no surprise to me that Future Proof has and will continue to attract the best and brightest from our neighbors up north. However, we needed a partner who walks in their shoes every day to unlock deeper experiences,” said Nyle Bayer, chief marketing officer at Advisor Circle.
Matt Middleton, CEO of Advisor Circle, added “Q Wealth Partners is an incredibly dynamic firm in the Canadian private wealth space with a unique and powerful vision; as such, it was a natural decision to welcome them as Official Canadian Ambassadors for our festival.”
“Our team was front-row for the inaugural Future Proof Festival in 2022. From the moment we set foot on the ground, we knew something very special was happening,” added Stephen Gasparek, chief marketing officer at Q Wealth Partners. “We became instant fans of what the Advisor Circle team were doing, and we wanted to figure out how to expand the reach to Canadians, specifically to advisors who are preparing for the future of our industry, and want to connect with peers and partners that can help them along their journey.”
