IAA hosts online Adviser Conference with record attendance

With nearly 800 professionals in attendance, the event offered valuable opportunities to learn from sector experts and engage with IAA leaders.

The Immigration Advice Authority (IAA) brought together nearly 800 registered advisers, organisations, sector experts, and key stakeholders to its annual Adviser Conference, held virtually on Tuesday 24 June.

The event provided attendees with essential updates on the immigration advice landscape, covering regulatory changes, emerging trends, and government developments that will shape the future of the sector.

Heather Laing, Chief Executive, said:

Our Adviser Conference is a unique opportunity to share best practice, learn from the experiences of others, and gain valuable insights from across the immigration advice sector.

It was fantastic to see so many gather for our annual event. By coming together, we continue to grow as professionals and strengthen the support we provide to those who need it most.

The packed agenda addressed the most pressing challenges, including direct updates from the Home Office, the impact of upcoming legislation on immigration advice regulation, recent IAA regulatory developments, and contributions from the Legal Services Board on the growing role of data and intelligence in legal services. The day concluded with an interactive Q&A session, giving attendees the opportunity to engage directly with IAA leaders and guest speakers.

We would like to thank everyone who attended and contributed to the conference. Together, we can continue to promote best practice across the sector and ensure safe access to immigration advice.
