by providing food, shoes and jackets through schools and early childhood centres so they can participate in learning and have an opportunity for a better future.
KidsCan is an Aotearoa New Zealand based charity dedicated to helping Kiwi kids affected by poverty. KidsCan help tamariki experiencing hardship by providing food, jackets, shoes and health products to over 1100 schools and early childhood centres nationwide.
Providing practical support such as food, clothing and health products helps remove some of the barriers these children face, enabling them to make the most of their education & participate in learning, and ultimately have the opportunity to create a better future for themselves.
$11,165 was raised for FSC24 Conference Charity Partner KidsCan from attendees to help them towards their goal of reaching over 10,000 Kiwi children in need. We encourage you to keep supporting Kiwi children via the linkhere.-1.jpg?width=6720&height=4480&name=ECE%20kids%20playing%20on%20slide%20(1)-1.jpg)
FSC24 Conference: Consumer Resilience & Prosperity
As part of our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, we recognise the importance of supporting all New Zealanders.
This is represented by the threads depicting flexibility, resilience and that the many different communities globally, within New Zealand and the financial services sector are stronger together.
This theme is therefore about focusing on how we as an industry can support the consumers that need it the most, to help maintain resilience through this tougher economic cycle, yet look to future prosperity for all New Zealanders.
10+ Continuing Professional Development (CPD) hours available.
Building Consumer Confidence 2023
The theme of the Financial Services Council conference in 2023 was Building Consumer Confidence.
As part of our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, we recognised the importance of supporting all New Zealanders.
This theme was therefore about focusing on how we as an industry could support those who need it most, in all regions of New Zealand and of all gender identities, sexual orientations, cultures, ethnicities, ages and backgrounds.
Growing Financial Confidence & Wellbeing in Aotearoa 2022
The FSC. Conference 2022 theme reflected the FSC. Vision to ‘Grow the Financial Confidence and Wellbeing of New Zealanders’.
Our 2022 theme built on those from previous conferences including ReGenerations, and acted as our guide as we continue our journey through uncertain pandemic and economic times.
We welcomed over 645 delegates, sponsors and speakers back in person to the FSC. Conference 2022 at The Cordis Hotel in Auckland over the 21 + 22 September 2022.
ReGenerations Conference 2021
Our 2021 conference 'ReGenerations' built on previous themes of Wellbeing, Sustainability and Guardianship. The Maori whakataukī (or proverb), He Waka Eke Noa, builds on these themes by highlighting the importance of recovery and going forward together in both good and trying times. With a literal translation 'We are all in this waka (canoe) together' this whakataukī centres in meaning around our whānau and community: being on the same journey, headed to the same destination and leaving no one behind.
The 2021 conference ran digitally over nine weeks with 16 sessions and two conference day sessions, with breakfast, main plenary and sundowner sessions.
With 148 speakers and over 37 sessions, the ReGenerations Digital Conference 2021 saw over 950 registrations with over 4000 session attendees.
Tech Alley is marketplace where attendees could meet with pioneering FinTech, InsurTech, HealthTech, EduTech and RegTech Kiwi companies, learn about their products and understand how they could help enhance their businesses and the financial services sector.
Tech Alley was located as part of the main sponsorship and partner exhibition area.
The Financial Services Council aims to fuel innovation in the sector and Pitch Perfect sparks that flame. All startup tech companies and Tech Alley attendees were welcome to pitch their tech at our breakfast session on 21 September, and the winners were invited to pitch their innovation on the main plenary stage later that day. See the winners here.
The Financial Services Council and Voices of Hope have formed a wonderful partnership over the past few years and we were delighted to announce them as our charity partner for the 2022 Conference.
The work they do to create and implement change for mental health through stories of lived experience, is so incredibly important on an individual, communal and global scale. All donations make a huge difference to the work Voices of Hope do and are greatly appreciated.
