The National Association of Securities Professionals (NASP), the nation’s premier professional association advocating for inclusion and expanded access within the financial services industry, will bring its 37th Annual Financial Services Conference (FSC 2026) to Detroit from June 8–10, 2026. This marks the first time the conference has returned to the Motor City since 2006.
Founded in 1985 by trailblazers including Maynard H. Jackson Jr. and Joyce M. Johnson, NASP has grown into a national network of 10 local chapters and more than 500 professional members. The organization continues to serve as a leading voice for advancing talent, access, and equity across the financial services ecosystem.
The Annual Financial Services Conference – NASP’s flagship event – will convene more than 500 financial services professionals from over 200 companies nationwide. Attendees include asset allocators, fiduciaries, public and private pension plans, foundations, endowments, investment managers, consultants, and government officials. The conference serves as a premier forum where meaningful connections translate into measurable business outcomes.
Under the theme Power. Performance. Excellence. in the Motor City, FSC 2026 will spotlight Detroit’s continued economic resurgence while creating meaningful opportunities for local engagement. The conference is expected to generate significant economic impact for the region through hotel stays, dining, transportation, and partnerships with local vendors. It will also connect Detroit-based financial professionals and institutions to national capital networks and institutional investors.
Dynamic sessions and panel discussions will explore trustee education, institutional and alternative investing, access to public and private investor channels, emerging markets, including investment opportunities in Africa, public finance, and professional development. Dedicated programming for college students, as well as early- and mid-career professionals, will provide mentorship and career-building pathways, further strengthening Detroit’s financial services talent pipeline.
By returning to Detroit, NASP reinforces its commitment to expanding opportunity, fostering inclusive excellence, and driving real business outcomes, both locally and nationally, through the power of connection.
