Cambridge Ignite 2026

September 16-18, 2026 · Kissimmee, FL

Ignite is Cambridge Investment Research's conference for its affiliated advisors. Cambridge is one of the larger privately held independent broker-dealers, and it supports advisors across a wide range of affiliation models — which makes Ignite as much about choosing how to be affiliated as about any single product or platform.

Who attends

Cambridge-affiliated advisors and their teams across independent, hybrid RIA and institutional models, plus Cambridge home-office leadership and the technology and asset management partners on its platform.

What's on the agenda

• Cambridge platform and technology roadmap

• Affiliation model options and moving between them

• Practice growth, succession and continuity planning

• Investment platform and advisory programs

• Compliance and supervision

Why multi-model affiliation complicates the data picture

An advisor operating as a hybrid runs corporate RIA business and independent RIA business side by side, often with different custodians, different reporting and different systems for each. Producing a single view of the practice — what it manages, what it earns, how it is growing — means reconciling across that divide by hand unless something sits underneath both.
