📅 Event Date: Monday, September 28 – Tuesday, September 29, 2026
The Advocis Ottawa Chapter runs its Strategies for Success conference over two days at the Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata, starting Monday, September 28. Advocis is the professional association for Canadian financial advisors, so this is the closest thing Ottawa has to an industry conference for the advisory and insurance side of financial services. If you are weighing a career as a financial planner or advisor rather than in accounting or corporate finance, this is the room where that profession talks to itself.

Why it’s worth going
The theme is how advisory practices stay relevant as the profession changes — the organizers frame it as leading the next generation of financial services on the basis that best practices evolve rather than end. For a student, the value is exposure to practising advisors and a clearer sense of what the licensing and business-building path actually looks like after graduation, which is harder to picture from coursework than the accounting route is.
Going in prepared
Tickets start at CA$222.72 and there are no refunds, so be sure before you book. If you need to stay over, a group rate of $279 per night was arranged at the Brookstreet for reservations made before September 4, 2026. Note that the golf tournament two days later is a separate ticket — worth knowing if someone mentions it as part of the same weekend.
