EP 46: Live from the IRESS WealthTech Summit: Our Mid-Year Check-In on the Predictions Shaping Advice Tech

In our first-ever live recording of The WealthTech Insider, Danni Le Grande and Peter Worn hit the stage at the IRESS WealthTech Summit to revisit – and ruthlessly score – the predictions we made for advice tech in 2025.
 

Recorded in front of a room full of industry pros (and without the safety net of a mute button), we dive into what’s tracking, what’s tanking, and what’s surprised us most about the year so far.

We cover:

  • Why AdviceTech feels stuck in neutral – and whether adviser tech fatigue is real

  • The slow but steady rise of platform monogamy

  • Why industry super is scrambling to fix the member experience (and stop outsourcing accountability)

  • What private equity really wants from advice firms (hint: it’s not just scale)

  • AI everywhere – and the caution tape that should come with it

  • Why some advice firms are overspending on enterprise tech they don’t need

  • Plus: how podcasts and YouTube quietly became advice firms’ secret marketing weapon

 

Expect candid takes, live banter, and some good old-fashioned “we called it” moments.

Let us do the heavy lifting with your technology strategy and implementation.

Reach out for discussion to see how.
