TISA reveals conference speakers

October 15, 2010

Mark Hoban MP the Financial Secretary to the Treasury is to be the keynote speaker at the TISA – Tax Incentivised Savings Association – annual conference in London on 17 November, the Association has announced.

Firmly established as the flagship event in the TISA calendar the conference focuses on the political, regulatory and economic influence on savings and investments from both the consumer and industry perspectives.

Also featured in the programme are presentations from Dan Waters, director of conduct risk & asset management sector leader at the FSA; Paul Smee, UK Payments CEO; Graeme Leach, IoD chief economist; Elissa Bayer, investment manager at Charles Stanley and the writer and broadcaster Richard Northedge.

A panel session will debate the potential impact of regulatory change on the consumer. Panellists include Adrian Boulding, L&G; Peter Hicks, FIL Administration; Simon Chamberlain, Succession Advisory and Jenni Stott of Lloyds Banking Group.

Chairmen for the event are Miles Templeman the IoD director general with Jim Evans, head of regulatory strategy, risk and compliance at Navigant Consulting, chairing the panel session.

Tony Vine-Lott, TISA director general says:

“Coming a month after the Chancellor’s comprehensive spending review announcement there will be no shortage of opinion at the conference on the effect this will have on the ability of people to save. But saving is essential if the government is to be successful in its attempts to reform the reliance on state funding. It is going to be fascinating to hear the feedback from delegates to Mark Hoban’s presentation on the government’s plans.”

The conference will be held on 17 November at The Plaisterers’ Hall, London, registration commences at 12.45 with the conference starting at 13.30 and finishing at 18.00.
