Event overview
Join us at the 2026 STEP Asia Conference to unpack the latest emerging trends and innovative strategies shaping family advisory in today’s evolving landscape. Bringing together leading practitioners and experts from Asia and across the globe, this premier event focuses on the issues that matter most to advisers working with complex family structures today.
Hear directly from experts in Australia, China, India, Indonesia, South Korea and Vietnam on how family needs are evolving across Asia. Sessions will address core challenges in succession planning — from tax transparency and compliance requirements to strategic family structures and sensitive matters such as matrimonial disputes, family governance, and alternative dispute resolution.
Through a mix of panel discussions and interactive masterclasses, you will leave with practical insights and tools that can be applied immediately in your client work.
Calling all young professionals!
Following the STEP Asia Conference will be the STEP Singapore Young Professionals Network Forum. Taking place on 22 October, this dynamic half-day forum is specifically designed for early to mid-career professionals within the wealth management industry.
