Kestra Financial’s annual Ascend Conference will be back in Austin, Texas, this coming February. Kestra will continue to deliver outstanding speakers, high-quality content, and thought-provoking sessions that will empower our community of high-performing advisory firms to evolve, navigate challenges, and unlock their full potential.

FP Transitions and ProAdvisor Coach explore how benchmarking data and leadership coaching help advisors gain clarity, make better decisions, and scale with intention.

Join featured speakers Scott Leak, CFP®, CEPA®, Director of Business Development at FP Transitions, and Nick Davies, leadership coach to advisory firm owners, for practical insights into building a more scalable advisory business.

Join The Net Positive Consortium in Wealth Management and the Foundation for Financial Planning (FFP) for an energizing conversation about why pro bono financial planning isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s a powerful investment in your firm’s culture, reputation, and long-term success.

In this session, you’ll discover how the Net Positive principles of community involvement, meaningful impact, and responsible leadership come to life through a partnership with FFP. Learn how firms of all sizes are expanding access to quality financial guidance for people in need—and how doing so strengthens employee engagement, builds trust in your brand, and deepens your firm’s connection to the communities you serve.

Whether you’re exploring pro bono work for the first time or looking to elevate existing efforts, you’ll gain actionable guidance to help you get started and create lasting impact.
