Air will hold a one-day summit in Coventry next month focused on how advisers and advice firms can use artificial intelligence and emerging technology in their businesses.
The Air Evolve Summit 2026 will take place on 6 October at MTC Events in Coventry and will be free to attend for advisers, practice owners and advice business leaders.
The event will include practical demonstrations, interactive workshops, specialist clinics and discussions examining the use of AI within financial advice businesses.
Air said the programme would focus on areas including reducing administration, improving client communications and productivity, and freeing advisers to spend more time on client-facing work.
The summit is being supported by Air ambassadors L&G, Canada Life, more2life, Equilaw and Royal London.
Will Hale, chief executive of Air, will give an address covering the company’s approach to emerging technologies and the potential opportunities for advisers.
Alpesh Doshi, an AI practitioner, enterprise architect and entrepreneur, will deliver a keynote session looking at practical ways in which advice businesses of different sizes can adopt AI.
The programme will also include live technology demonstrations and networking activities, including golf simulators, escape rooms, Insights Discovery psychometric sessions, Paint & Sip experiences and virtual reality golf.
Hale said: “Technology and AI are moving from future opportunity to present-day reality for advice businesses. The challenge for many firms is understanding where these tools can deliver genuine value and how to adopt them with confidence.
“Air Evolve Summit 2026 has been designed to be practical, interactive and immediately relevant. Advisers will leave with a clearer understanding of the opportunities, responsibilities and next steps associated with AI, alongside ideas they can begin exploring within their businesses straight away.”
The event will run from 9am to 4.30pm at MTC Events, Pilot Way, Coventry.
