Cultivating a Collaborative Advisor Community
National Ascend Conference
We bring together all Kestra-affiliated financial advisors each February for our annual Ascend Conference. Our advisors and their teams can network with their peers, share ideas and best practices, connect with Kestra leadership, and gain actionable insights from outstanding speakers and industry experts to strengthen their wealth management firms. We also share updates on new services, solutions, and tools we’re developing to enhance the experiences of our advisor community.


Recognition Events
Throughout the year, we host a variety of exclusive events and leadership trips to celebrate the success and accomplishments of our advisor community. These gatherings bring together Kestra's top financial advisors to honor their outstanding achievements, remarkable growth, and the positive impact they make on their clients. We hope to see you on our next trip.
Community and Education Events
Connecting our community of high-performing advisors to network and discuss topics relevant to their businesses is a top priority. Join fellow Kestra advisors and their teams for tailored community and education events—crafted to nurture collaboration, encourage knowledge-sharing, drive professional growth, and strengthen our culture.


Advisor & Staff Councils
Giving our advisors and their teams a platform to share their voices, values, and concerns is essential to our culture at Kestra Financial. We’ve developed a series of Advisor and Staff Councils that our advisors and their teams can join to regularly collaborate with Kestra leadership to improve service experiences, develop new solutions, and introduce new ideas to amplify the success of all Kestra–affiliated firms.
Women Empowerment Network
The Women Empowerment Network (WEN) was created to accelerate the success of female financial advisors and leaders within the Kestra ecosystem. Throughout the year, we host various WEN events to bring together our talented female leaders and entrepreneurs so they can share their strengths, experiences, and collaborate to advance female representation across the financial services industry.


Peer Perspectives
Peer Perspectives, hosted by our Business Consulting Team, is an online video series that brings Kestra advisors together via Zoom setting to share ideas, challenges, and opportunities
