Test Festival Event 2019 | Personal Finance Society | 7 November 2019 | NEC, National Exhibition Centre, North Ave, Marston Green, Birmingham B40 1NT, UK

A festival of financial planning

Vibrant, exciting and relevant. It's a place where you’ll be educated and entertained, taken beyond the familiar and encouraged to push boundaries. A hothouse for ideas and inspiration.

Dry and predictable it won't be, so if you're expecting the usual, prepare to be disappointed.
