IPAW 2025

22nd - 26th September 2025 (12-1pm)

Income Protection Action Week (IPAW) is our annual online event at the IPTF, created to highlight the importance of income protection. It’s designed for advisers and anyone working in the protection industry who’d like to refresh their knowledge or simply learn more about how income protection works and why it matters. Throughout the week, we host a series of online sessions,  from expert panels and real-life case studies to practical tools, all aimed at helping to start more meaningful conversations with clients about protecting their income in the face of illness or injury.
