As the North American markets enter a period of intense volatility—fueled by the lingering effects of Trump-era tariffs, a dramatic tech sector cooldown, and escalating political uncertainty—investors are under pressure to make smarter and more informed decisions. Relying on a SINGLE strategy is no longer enough. Diversification, insight, and access to expert perspectives are essential.

That’s exactly what the Annual Wealth Conference 2025 in Vancouver is all about. This in-person event will bring together 400+ investors, industry professionals, and 30+ companies under one roof. It’s shaping up to be one of the largest wealth conferences in the region—an exciting space to share ideas, discover new opportunities, and connect directly with leaders in the financial world.

What makes this conference special is the wide range of sectors we’re covering each playing a key role in helping investors build a strong, future-ready portfolio:

Capital Markets, ETFs, Financial Services, Private Equity, REITs, and Real Estate Investment (REI).

These sectors were chosen because they offer balance, potential, and perspective. Whether you’re interested in stable, income-generating assets or you’re curious about the next wave of oppotunities, this is your chance to hear from the experts, compare strategies, and ask questions—all in one place.

Why in-person?

After years of Zoom calls and digital events, there’s no substitute for real conversations. Meeting people face-to-face creates stronger connections and more valuable discussions. Whether you’re looking to network, pitch, partner, or simply learn, this is where real opportunities start.
The Annual Wealth Conference 2025 offers more than just answers—it offers clarity, strategy, and access. Don’t miss your opportunity to be part of one of the most dynamic wealth events in Western Canada.

This event is suitable for the following:

Individual investors, private client brokers, financial institutions, buy & sell-side analysts, and journalists.
