"My first in-person IPW Conference was highly anticipated and definitely lived up to my expectations. A fabulous conference, with fabulous speakers and a fabulous evening to top it all off - looking forward to the next one."

Kristie Scott MIPW

Director, The Death Planner LTD

"As a new member, I found the IPW Conference incredibly welcoming, informative, and well worth attending. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with fellow Willwriters and Solicitors, build valuable relationships, and gain practical insights from knowledgeable speakers. I took away so much from the event and will definitely be attending again. You can learn so much from your peers - even if you have been in the industry for a while, every day is a school day in this profession because every client is different. The conference certainly gave me more than I expected, including some lovely friendships."
