On 9 June 2026, PROpulsion will host a Financial Planning Conference for Global Citizens offering practical insight into the realities advisers face when clients, assets, and families span borders.
Offshore planning is no longer a niche topic. Many advisers are already working with clients who have offshore assets, globally connected families, and planning needs that span multiple jurisdictions.
What is less clear is how these situations play out in practice.
Advisers understand the theory, but often face uncertainty around what actually happens when plans are implemented, where complexity arises, and how to guide clients through real-world decisions.
The 2026 PROpulsion Financial Planning Conference focuses on these practical realities. From offshore estates and cross-border structuring to working with clients and families across countries, the aim is to provide useful, applied insight that advisers can take back into their day-to-day work.
This is not a standard offshore event focused on broad diversification messages. It’s about what advisers actually encounter in practice, where things get complicated, and how to handle those situations with confidence.
The six keynote themes
The conference is built around six keynote sessions, each focused on a key aspect of cross-border financial planning as it shows up in practice. Together, these sessions move from understanding the global client, through technical complexity, to practical implementation and client relationships.
Offshore Planning in the Real World
A scene-setting session on how offshore planning is showing up in practice, including hybrid lifestyles, globally connected families, and clients with existing offshore assets.
Offshore Estates in Practice: From Death to Distribution
A practical case study on how offshore estates are administered, including cross-border coordination, delays, and what advisers should expect in reality.
Cross-Border Tax, Estate and Structuring Issues
A practical look at tax, estate, and structuring challenges across jurisdictions, including where complexity arises and when specialist input is required.
Holistic International Financial Planning in Practice
A practical session on delivering integrated advice across jurisdictions, helping advisers connect technical expertise with real client implementation.
Working with Clients and Families Across Borders
A session focused on managing client relationships across countries, including communication, decision-making, and working with families across multiple jurisdictions.
Planning Offshore Estates Before the Crisis
A practical session on the decisions that shape offshore estate outcomes before a death event. Covers structures, jurisdictions, and wills, and where complexity is introduced. Helps advisers plan earlier and involve the right specialists.
What you can gain from this conference
You will leave with a clearer way to approach cross-border financial planning in practice, not just theory. This includes:
- A better understanding of how globally mobile clients are changing, and what that means for your advice
- Practical insight into offshore estates, and what really happens when a client dies
- Greater clarity on cross-border tax, structuring, and where complexity typically arises
- A more structured approach to delivering advice across multiple jurisdictions
- Confidence in working with clients and families making decisions across borders
- A clearer view of when to involve specialists, and how to coordinate that input effectively
How the day is structured
The conference is designed as a focused half-day event, with a clear flow from context to application.
Each session builds on the previous one, helping you move from understanding global client realities to applying that insight in your advice process.
