AdviceTech Competition

Showcase Your Solution for Financial Advisors

Tools for the Modern Advicer

Getting the word out about groundbreaking tech that will transform the industry is no easy feat. We’re on a mission to kick-start the awareness of innovative solutions that help financial planners deliver more efficient, profitable, and impactful advice at XYPN LIVE.

Applications are open through July 16th, 2026.

  • In 2026, we’re focusing on the emerging tools and technologies that make delivering real financial services more efficient, profitable, or impactful for clients.

    The theme? “Tools for the Modern Advicer". We're interested in seeing new platforms and solutions that empower real Financial "Advicers" to run better businesses or give truly client-centric advice.

  • The technology must be for Financial "Advicers" (those in the business of providing financial advice for a fee) and support running a business where financial advice, and the Financial Advicers themselves, are the primary value. 

    To enter, applicants must meet one or more of the following requirements: Be an existing company with a new offering, substantively different from its existing solutions, that is independently priced, have less than $1 million in annual revenue, and have launched in the last 12 months

  • Finalists will be invited to take the stage to present their tech, selected by a committee of XYPN's Director of Partnerships, Dave Bowman, CFP®, and XYPN members.

    Finalists will be selected from the submissions based on the impact of the solution in helping real financial advicers run better firms and deliver more meaningful advice.

  • XYPN members in attendance are engaged early adopters of technology that allows them to give better advice to their clients and live their own great lives. Solve the problems of the modern Advicer, and your technology just might be the next AdviceTech Competition winner!

  • For most advisors, the value of financial planning is ascribed to the products they sell. However, when the result of financial planning isn’t advice but a product, it’s easy to see why investing in an advisor's value takes a backseat. Our bread and butter is recognizing the incredible value that financial advisors bring to the table.

“From the get-go, we had our eyes set on the AdviceTech Competition, it wasn’t about winning A contest. [The XYPN AdviceTech competition] was THE contest. The year after, we tripled our business. We had a storm of XYPN members coming to us afterward and have seen very strong growth since.”
