As we stand at the crossroads of unprecedented technological advancements, shifting societal values and complex global challenges, STEP Global Congress gathers thought leaders, industry experts, policymakers and innovators to engage in a dynamic dialogue about the critical issues shaping our industry. 

The 2025 Congress will take place in the beautiful and historic city of Rome, Italy, at the renowned Rome Cavalieri Hotel. Perched on a hilltop with breath-taking views over the city, this prestigious hotel is celebrated for its luxurious accommodations, exceptional service and extensive private art collection.

Our wide-ranging and thought-provoking programme will delve into a broad range of topics, including:

• the transformative power of artificial intelligence,
• the ethical imperatives of responsible stewardship,
• how evolving attitudes towards wealth and the complexities of modern family dynamics are influencing client decisions, and

Congress will address the challenges and opportunities presented by the next generation of wealth holders; the fight against economic crime; and the debate over implementing a global wealth tax, offering diverse perspectives on potential impact and feasibility.
