STEP Guernsey Branch Annual Conference 2023 | Society of Trust & Estate Practitioners (STEP) | 14 June 2023 | Beau Séjour Leisure Centre, Amherst, Guernsey GY1 2DL, Guernsey

It is one of the most active branches of STEP Worldwide and committed to continual professional development to our members. We hold at least two lectures each month during the academic year aimed at all levels of our membership and are proud to attract some of the most experienced professionals from all over the world to present. The lecture programme is thoughtfully put together by our lecture subcommittee who are skilled in securing a wide range of speakers on a variety of topics.

Throughout the pandemic STEP Guernsey adapted successfully to offer both online and in-person events, with both the 2020 and 2021 conferences being the only STEP conferences worldwide to take place in-person and at full capacity. We also offered a popular webinar series which was utilised by members from all over the world.

We hold two main flagship events - our Annual Ball held in early Autumn is attended by over 400 professionals. It is one of the most eagerly anticipated events of the finance calendar and each year our social subcommittee create a splendid night of entertainment centred around a unique theme to celebrate those dedicated to the local trust industry.

Our annual conference held each June is always well attended and comprises a full day of topical presentations from industry leaders from around the globe. Never have we been more connected with overseas professionals who are able to share their experiences and lessons learnt with local members. We are always grateful to those speakers who give their time to support our branch.
