What the community keeps asking for
Every year, the Future Proof community asks for the same thing. More Breakthru meetings, and more ways to connect through the year. Future Proof Connect is the answer to that. Two days of pre-scheduled, one-to-one meetings, 100% online.

Part of what makes Future Proof Festival one of the most valuable wealth management conferences around is the Breakthru meetings. These 15 minute meetings are just the right length to figure out whether or not there’s a mutually beneficial opportunity to be uncovered. Having completed over 30 of these meetings in my last two years, I’ve noticed there’s an openness that’s hard to find anywhere else. Regardless of title and experience, participants are incredibly willing to share what they do and what their pain points are in a way that would take significantly longer to discover on a cold outreach.

Breakthru meetings are a breakthrough. . .
The pre-vetting and matching effect of the app increased the likelihood of good conversations.

Traditional networking? Not even close. You get Breakthru’s. 15-minute sparks of connection that you never knew were possible, until Future Proof designed them.

The connections were richer. They were also incredibly well-executed, with the Breakthru format allowing for an insane number of useful business connections in an insanely efficient amount of time.
JOSEPH MALLEN
CEO, Modelist
The meaningful connections we developed at Future Proof quickly generated returns of over 10x the cost of attending.
Not a new idea. A proven one.
Future Proof Connect runs on the same Breakthru program technology that powers the largest events in wealth management since 2023.

Meetings Satisfaction Rate
Mutual Matches That Never Got Scheduled, Until Now
Every one of those was two people who both said yes to meeting each other. The interest was there on both sides. The meeting still never happened. Future Proof Connect was built for exactly this. The only thing that should decide whether two people meet is whether they both want to. We already know the answer. 300,000 times, it was yes.
