We were delighted to welcome attendees to the ProShare Annual Conference 2026, which took place on Wednesday 23rd September at our brand-new venue, Together at 88 Wood Street, in the heart of the City of London.
This year’s conference brought together companies and organisations of all sizes, industry leaders and experts to explore our theme, ‘Building for the Future’.
Against a backdrop of continuing uncertainty, the conference provided an opportunity to reflect on the positive developments shaping the future, from advances in AI and technology to the UK Government’s focus on financial resilience and encouraging greater individual investment.
Throughout the day, our speakers and delegates explored a range of topics around growth, including financial, economic and personal growth, as well as productivity, development and expansion across the wider employee share plan sector. Discussions encompassed perspectives on equity, compensation and benefits for both listed and private companies.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the day such a success.

Knowledge is power when it comes to financial wellbeing. At AAG Financial Education, we help employees understand their company benefits, make informed decisions and feel more confident about their financial future.
For Share Plan and Reward teams, the challenge isn't putting a great scheme in place. It's making sure employees understand it, engage with it, and know what to do when their shares vest or mature. A well-designed share plan gives employees a genuine stake in their company's success. But the terminology can feel complex, and so can the tax implications and vesting decisions. That's where we come in.
We help employees make sense of it all, putting their share plan in the context of their wider financial position: deciding to hold or sell, understanding tax implications, or seeing how this wealth fits alongside their goals. We support employees at every stage: joining the scheme, the holding period, vesting or maturity, and beyond. No two share plans or workforces are the same, so we build our programmes around yours, tailored to your scheme, your demographics and the key moments in your calendar.
Our offering includes share plan-specific presentations and webinars, sessions timed around grant and vesting dates, and executive workshops, alongside 1:1 Financial Reviews with FCA regulated advisers, bespoke communications and CPD-accredited education. Programmes can run standalone or as part of a wider wellbeing strategy.
Financial education is the bridge between offering a valuable benefit and employees genuinely understanding its worth, meaning stronger engagement and more value from your investment.
