Our session: Divide & Conquer: When the balance is disturbed, features Mike Barrett talking about platforms 10 years on from our Platforms Are Dead event. "Back in 2015, vertical integration was a dirty word. Now every platform operating at scale has some sort of vertical integration."

Divide & Conquer is all about exploring the relationships between the advice profession, providers and the regulator. Mark Polson says in a perfect world, they should all work in balance, but in reality, there's always an imbalance. But are we actually holding each other to account?
