RBC will be the top supporter for this year's national conference for the financial planning profession.

TORONTO, Sept. 10, 2026 /CNW/ -- FP Canada is pleased to announce RBC as the platinum sponsor for its annual Financial Planning Conference. In 2026, this exciting event will take place virtually over four days, from November 16-19.

Each year, the conference brings together Certified Financial Planner^® professionals, Qualified Associate Financial Planner™ professionals, other professionals across financial services, educators, students, regulators, and other stakeholders from across Canada to explore emerging trends, share ideas, and gain professional insights.

Building on the momentum of last year, the 2026 conference continues to build on the theme Together: Innovate. Lead. Evolve. This theme reflects the collaborative spirit of the financial planning profession, the leadership required to navigate change, and the importance of adapting to an increasingly complex environment.

RBC's sponsorship will help FP Canada deliver an engaging conference experience that brings together leading experts and thought leaders from within and beyond financial services. Attendees will benefit from thought-provoking keynotes, engaging sessions and panel discussions, and opportunities to connect with peers and build valuable professional relationships. This year, the conference will also offer expanded continuing education (CE) opportunities for eligible participants, with credits recognized by more organizations than ever before.

"As the financial planning profession continues to evolve, it's more important than ever that the professionals who are shaping its future stay connected and engage with new ideas," says Tashia Batstone, FP Canada President and CEO. "That's why we're proud to partner with RBC to deliver a conference that will help participants strengthen their knowledge, expand their perspectives, and, ultimately, better serve the financial well-being of Canadians."

"Financial Planning Week and this conference remind us that the profession is built on a fundamental responsibility: helping Canadians achieve financial security and confidence," says Denise Costa, National Head, RBC Financial Planning. "At RBC, we're committed to supporting our financial planners doing this critical work—equipping them with the tools, expertise and resources they need to deliver exceptional advice. That's how we move the needle for Canadian families."

The 2026 Financial Planning Conference will take place during Financial Planning Week, which highlights the value of professional financial planning and recognizes the important role financial planners play in helping Canadians achieve greater financial well-being.
