Contemporary Issues in Economics and Policy

 

A New Seminar Series hosted by Manchester Metropolitan University and Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs


Seminar one - Globalisation, Nationalism and Devolution: Promoting localism in an interconnected world

Manchester Metropolitan University Business School
on
Thursday 5th October at 5:00 pm to 7:30 pm in G35

In this inaugural lecture, Professor Kevin Albertson from the Future Economies Research Centre, Manchester Metropolitan University will theorise the conflicting claims of the global, the national and the local on individuals and the democratic governments they form. In “Globalisation, Nationalism and Devolution: Promoting localism in an interconnected world” he will be arguing, amongst other things, that globalisation produces losers as well as winners and the role that an appropriate nationalism and localism might play in shaping the economic and social consequences of modern global forces.

This free seminar, including time for subsequent questions, will take place in the London offices of HMRC and Manchester Metropolitan University Business School.

To book a place at the Manchester seminar on Thursday, 5 October 2017 from 5:00 pm to 7:30 pm please go to:

Contemporary Issues in Economics and Policy






A Seminar Series hosted by Manchester Metropolitan University and Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs

Thursday 5th October,  G35                   5pm - 7.30pm – Seminar organised by Kevin Albertson
Thursday 2nd November, G35               5pm - 7.30pm – Seminar organised by Kevin Albertson

Interesting Times

Few would argue we live in interesting times; and interesting times make for interesting discussion.
Contemporary Issues in Economics and Policy is a series of monthly seminars to be given at Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs offices in London and repeated at Manchester Metropolitan University Department of Economics, Policy and International Business. Each seminar will address an issue of importance in the contemporary world of political economy.

The series is designed to foster national debate, hence its parallel venues. Each seminar will be of interest to policy makers, business leaders, members of the public and, indeed, anyone concerned about the state of the present and the future.

To reach as wide an audience as possible, each seminar will be recorded and the series will be supported by a webpage where the series’ video and blog will be hosted.

Plain Talking


The seminars examining Contemporary Issues in Economics and Policy will be jargon-free and with a level of analysis accessible to the lay-person. The purpose is to foster debate, not to cloud the issues.

Each of the seminars will begin with a brief analysis of past and current policy; an evaluation of the impact of this policy in terms of the social and economic wellbeing of the nation; and suggestions for the future. Questions, answers and suggestions from those attending will be more than welcome.

In conjunction with

Manchester Metropolitan University Future Economies Research Centre

The Personal Financial Society’s Festival of Financial Planning 2017



The Personal Financial Society’s Festival of Financial Planning 2017


NEC Birmingham, 7 & 8 November This is the UK’s largest conference for financial planning as a Discover member you’re invited!
IT’S FREE TO ATTEND!
 
 
Here’s some more information about what you can expect at the event:

Exhibitions and Stands
Headline Speakers
Breakout Presentations
FinTech Start-up Cafe
Festival Radio
The Future Generations Marquee
Main Headline Speakers:

Sir Clive Woodward OBE
Baroness Altman CBE
The Right Honourable Sir Steve Webb
The Right Honourable Sir Vince Cable
Richard Mullender Hostage Negotiator
 
Exhibitors

Exhibitors will share their expertise and experience with delegates in the massive exhibition space centred around The Green. There will be a number of areas with different themes, asset managers, client solutions and adviser solutions.

There will be more than 50 main exhibitors as well as 20+ companies in the FinTech Start-up Cafe.
 
The Asset Managers represent over $12.5 tn of investment assets worldwide and include all the well-known names in UK Retail Investment Management:

Amati Global, Aviva Investors, Blackrock, Brewin Dolphin, Cazenove, Charles Stanley, Columbia Threadneedle, Cornelian, Franklin Templeton, Invesco Perpetual, iShare, Janus Henderson, Just, LGIM, M&G, MAN, NS&I, Old Mutual Wealth, Russell Investments, Schroders, Seven Investment Management, Time Investments, Vanguard and Winton Capital.

There is also an International feel to the event with a number of advisers from beyond the UK attending, together with the European Financial Planning Association (EFPA) and other pan-European groups.

FinTech Start-Up Café
At the other end of the corporate spectrum there will be a FinTech Start-up Cafe where small, new, start-up firms can showcase their tech solutions for clients or advisers using silent disco elevator pitches and one-to-one meetings.

Retail Financial Services is not just about the large corporate world of The City but also has a vibrant entrepreneurial culture underpinning new investor dynamics and client needs.

Festival Radio
Throughout the two days of the Festival we will have Festival Radio interviewing delegates, exhibitors and speakers to share reactions to the event and to highlight particular activities. This will add to the Festival feel for the event which we hope will be unlike all previous such events in Financial Services.

Festival Radio will be based on The Green in the centre of the massive exhibition space which will also be the entertainment hub for the event. Towards the end of the first day there will be music and performance as well as informal networking to allow delegates to relax a little before heading home or to their hotels.

Breakout Presentations
In addition to the main stage presenters that are headlining the Festival there will be four additional stages with a rolling program of 30-minute presentations on a wide range of subjects. In total there will be more than 70 presentations for delegates to choose from on a wide range of subjects:
 
  • • Soft skills
  • • Financial planning
  • • Retirement planning and retirement income management
  • • Asset Management strategies
  • Market updates and commentaries
  • • Tax and trust planning
  • • International clients

All breakouts will qualify as unstructured CPD so will provide a significant personal development opportunity for all delegates, whatever their experience.

The Future Generations Marquee

There will be an area dedicated to encouraging the next generation to come into the Financial Planning profession. Here there will be short presentations and stands from a range of organisations dedicated to encouraging and developing tomorrow’s talent:

  • Adviser firms with graduate schemes
  • • CPD providers
  • Universities with linked degrees
  • • Apprenticeship providers

Sponsored by The Financial Adviser School and the New Model Business Academy, this area will be a hub for delegates who are interested to bring new talent into their businesses as well as young professionals looking to build a personal career path.
