The two-day virtual event will convene 2,000+ wealth management professionals for more than 20,000 double-opt-in, one-to-one meetings extending the program behind 100,000+ Breakthru Meetings since 2023 to the entire industry with no travel required.
BOSTON, July 1, 2026 – Future Proof, the wealth management industry’s largest community and event platform, today announced the launch of Future Proof Connect, a virtual one-to-one meetings-only event taking place November 18–19, 2026. Future Proof Connect takes the most sought-after experience at every Future Proof event – its Breakthru Meetings Program – and opens it to the entire wealth management ecosystem, without anyone having to get on a plane.
The event is expected to bring together more than 2,000 participants and facilitate over 20,000 double-opt-in, pre-scheduled 15-minute meetings across financial advisors, RIAs and wealth managers, family offices and Limited Partners, asset and investment managers, fintechs and wealthtechs, financial services firms, and other service providers that serve them.
“The most common request we’ve gotten for three years running is a simple one: can we do Breakthru Meetings more than once a year? Future Proof Connect is us saying yes,” said Matt Middleton, Founder and CEO of Future Proof. “The best meetings in wealth management used to require a flight to Huntington Beach or Miami Beach. Now they take a calendar invite. Same program, same outcomes, open to the entire industry.”
Unlike traditional virtual events, Future Proof Connect features no speakers and no content tracks. It runs entirely on the same proprietary Breakthru Meetings technology that has powered more than 100,000 double-opt-in meetings at Future Proof events since 2023, with meetings satisfaction rates consistently above 95%. Every meeting is mutually requested: participants build a detailed profile, receive AI-powered recommendations of the most relevant people to meet, and only meet with counterparts who have opted in as well. There are no blind matches and no automatic assignments, and over 3 hours across 2 days, each participant can hold up to 20 fifteen-minute video meetings with people they actively chose to meet.
Built for outcomes on both sides of the screen
For advisors, professional allocators, and wealth management decision-makers, Future Proof Connect is an efficient way to meet the right partners, employee prospects, fund managers, and tech providers without travel, cold outreach, or wasted time. For asset managers, fintechs, and service providers, it is a scalable, measurable alternative to legacy distribution and sponsored webcasts: direct, double-opt-in access to qualified decision-makers who have chosen to meet you. Registration and sponsorship opportunities are open now, and the event is expected to become the largest virtual meetings event in wealth management from its inaugural year.
Future Proof Connect is the latest expansion of the Future Proof platform beyond its flagship live events. It follows the recent launch of Future Proof Research, the company’s new data and intelligence arm, and reflects a broader effort to serve the wealth management community across the full calendar year rather than at a single annual moment.
Financial advisors, RIAs, allocators, asset managers, fintechs, and service providers can register or apply to participate. Firms interested in becoming year one sponsors can find out more information here.
