Air has announced details of its upcoming Air Evolve Summit 2026, a free-to-attend event designed to help advisers, practice owners and advice business leaders understand how artificial intelligence and emerging technologies can drive greater efficiency, enhance client experiences and support business growth.
Taking place on 6 October 2026 at MTC Events in Coventry, the one-day summit will bring together advisers and industry professionals for a programme of practical demonstrations, interactive workshops, specialist clinics and expert-led discussions focused on the real-world application of AI within financial advice businesses, supported by Air ambassadors L&G, Canada Life, more2life, Equilaw and Royal London.
Unlike traditional technology conferences, the event has been designed to move beyond theory, showcasing tangible examples of how firms can use AI and technology to reduce administration, improve client communications, boost productivity and create more time for high-value client conversations.
Attendees will have the opportunity to:
- See live demonstrations of AI and technology in action
- Explore practical applications that can be implemented within advice businesses
- Take part in interactive workshops and specialist clinics
- Hear short, high-impact presentations from industry experts
- Network and collaborate with fellow advisers and industry stakeholders
The summit will also incorporate a range of interactive networking experiences, including golf simulators, escape rooms, Insights Discovery psychometric sessions, Paint & Sip experiences and VR golf activities, helping to bring attendees together to share best practices.
The agenda will feature an address from Will Hale, CEO of Air, who will outline how Air is embracing emerging technologies and explore the opportunities these developments present for advisers.
Additionally, it will include a keynote session from Alpesh Doshi, AI practitioner, enterprise architect and entrepreneur, who will share practical examples of how AI can be adopted across advice businesses of all sizes.
Will Hale, CEO at Air, said:
"Technology and AI are moving from future opportunity to present-day reality for advice businesses. The challenge for many firms is understanding where these tools can deliver genuine value and how to adopt them with confidence.
"Air Evolve Summit 2026 has been designed to be practical, interactive and immediately relevant. Advisers will leave with a clearer understanding of the opportunities, responsibilities and next steps associated with AI, alongside ideas they can begin exploring within their businesses straight away."
The event is open to advisers, practice owners and advice business leaders, whether they are just beginning to explore AI or are already incorporating technology into their business operations. Attendance is complimentary, although places are limited.
