Every Friday, PROpulsion LIVE creates space for conversations with and for South Africa’s financial planning profession.
Now, that experience is coming off the screen.
PROpulsion Connect will take the energy, format and conversational style of the weekly live show and bring it into one room in Cape Town.
It isn’t a traditional conference, product showcase or seminar. It is a live, in-person PROpulsion experience for financial planners, advisers, practice owners, industry partners and professionals who care about the future of advice.
The event will take place on 19 August 2026 at the Santam Auditorium in Tyger Valley, Cape Town.
Why advisers should be in the room
Financial advice is changing.
Clients are asking different questions.
The public is learning about money in different places.
Advice businesses are facing pressure to grow, communicate clearly, and stay relevant in a noisy market.
PROpulsion Connect has been built around the conversations advisers need to be part of right now.
The day includes two main interview-style conversations with mystery guests, each focused on a challenge that really matters to the profession.
The public money conversation
More people than ever are learning about money online. That creates both opportunity and responsibility for the advice profession.
If qualified advisers are not visible, useful and trusted in that conversation, who shapes it instead?
Together, we’ll explore trust, financial education, the rise of online money voices, and how advisers can communicate in ways that are more human, more useful, and easier for the public to understand.
Growing stronger advice businesses
Many advisers and practice owners wrestle with the same uncomfortable question:
Where will the next right-fit client come from?
We’ll explore why growth often stalls, why many advisers remain uncomfortable talking about sales, and how practices can build stronger, more sustainable businesses without becoming pushy, product-led or salesy.
Together, these two conversations speak directly to the future of the profession: how advisers show up for the public, and how they build stronger, more sustainable businesses.
Shorter segments. Clearer ideas.
Alongside the main conversations, the day includes a series of shorter, focused segments.
Each one is built around a single practical idea that advisers can apply, discuss with their teams, or take back into their businesses.
One useful idea is worth more than ten vague ones.
A smaller room for better conversations
PROpulsion Connect is intentionally limited to just 70 attendees.
That matters because the format depends on the room feeling focused, personal and connected.
It creates the kind of environment where advisers, practice owners, industry partners, and the wider PROpulsion community can genuinely spend time together before the programme begins, during breaks, and after the live show experience.
The value of the day isn’t only what happens on stage.
It’s also the conversation over coffee.
The question asked after a session.
The advisers you meet during a break.
And the idea that stays with you long after the event has ended.
Guest reveal with a difference
Our mystery guests will not be revealed upfront.
Instead, we’re building curiosity around the conversations themselves, because the topics matter just as much as the names.
The intention is for advisers to arrive curious, ready to engage, and open to being challenged.
The event won’t be livestreamed either.
The experience itself belongs to the people in the room.
