The Future Proof Festival is less than three weeks away. This year’s event will be our biggest yet, with 5,000 attendees gathering for the largest meeting of RIAs in all of wealth management. And of course, no Future Proof is complete without unforgettable live music. We’re thrilled to announce the musical acts at Future Proof Festival 2025!

At most events, networking is left to chance… wandering the expo hall with beige walls, hoping to bump into the right person. At Future Proof, Breakthru replaces chance with choice. In short, you don’t just meet people, you meet the right people for your current business initiatives.

The Breakthru Experiences program at Future Proof Festival has expanded significantly, giving attendees more meaningful ways to connect, learn, and unwind alongside their peers.

At Future Proof Festival, seven innovators will take the stage for the first-ever AI Demo Drop. From autonomous equity analysis to AI-powered compliance and client conversion tools, these builders were chosen from 100+ applicants and are solving the industry’s toughest challenges.

This year, we’re putting AI front and center at Future Proof Festival 2025. The AI Demo Drop is a live showcase of the most advanced AI tools being built for wealth managers and RIAs. If you’re building something that brings AI from concept to application in financial services, this is the stage to prove it.

This October, we’ll gather at the Grand Hyatt Baha Mar in Nassau, Bahamas, for a retreat built to fuel the future of growth in wealth management. Every detail of Future Proof Growth Retreat – from the themes to the peer-to-peer conversations – is designed with intention. Not to tell you what growth means, but to help you define and pursue it with greater clarity.

The Future Proof Leaders Retreat is an exclusive experience for CEOs, senior executives, and decision-makers and is designed for those ready to lead what’s next—from legacy firms navigating scale to next-gen leaders redefining what leadership looks like.

Most conferences cram attendees into stuffy breakout rooms for dull panels and awkward networking. That’s not what we do at Future Proof Citywide. This year, we’re introducing Future Proof Hubs: dedicated spaces for industry-specific content, real conversations, and high-value networking.

The Emerging Manager Showcase at Future Proof Citywide is shining a spotlight on six emerging managers who are redefining investment opportunities across venture capital, private equity, real estate, public equity, and alternative strategies.

The fintech revolution is already here. Seven game-changing companies will take center stage to showcase the innovations reshaping wealth and investment management at Future Proof Citywide Fintech Demo Drop in Miami Beach.

Technology is reshaping the financial world at an unprecedented pace. At Future Proof Citywide, we’re bringing together the brightest minds in fintech, investment management, and AI to explore how technology is driving the next evolution of the industry. Get a front-row seat to the innovations shaping the future of wealth and investment management—and walk away with actionable strategies to implement within your firm.

The way investors think, act, and allocate capital is evolving. Firms that adapt to this new mindset—prioritizing transparency, customization, and collaboration—will thrive in the years ahead.

Future Proof isn’t just an event—it’s an experience. From our first Festival to the Retreat and now Citywide, we’ve redefined what a wealth management event can be. No stale breakout sessions. No pay-to-play keynotes. Just immersive environments, unforgettable moments, and real connections. Future Proof Citywide isn’t just the next step—it’s the next evolution.

The lines between public and private are blurring, reshaping the future of wealth and asset management. The result? The industry’s traditional silos are crumbling. Over the next 7–10 years, expect even more consolidation and collaboration.
