Today’s Wills & Probate are looking forward to attending one of the most important events on the Wills and Probate calendar next week.
Now in its 27th year, the Institute of Professional Willwriters and the Institute of Scottish Professional Willwriters will be hosting their AGM and Willwriting Academy Ltd Conference next week, with 2018 set to be the biggest year yet.
Held over two days at Drayton Manor Hotel & Conference Centre, the event includes a range of high profile speakers from across the sector, all set to discuss key issues currently facing the profession.
Commenting on last year’s event was Lisa Watts of Solve Legal Marketing, owners of Today’s Wills and Probate. She stated:
“The IPW conference is the ‘must attend’ event for professional advisers working in the Wills and Probate profession. As well as being a great opportunity to influence the agenda for the IPW for the coming year, the presentations throughout the conference are essential to keeping up to date with current critical issues.
“Last year, Solve Legal Marketing found the networking opportunities to be invaluable. There were plenty of opportunities throughout the event to meet some fantastic new contacts and to grow our network of contacts which demonstrably benefited our business.”
The event will also be a prime opportunity for connecting with like-minded professionals, enabling attendees to both enhance and develop their knowledge, whilst boosting the profile of their business. What’s more, both days will qualify for Continuing Professional Development.
