Is the summit really free?

Yes, the Canadian Financial Summit really is 100% free, all you have to do is sign up with your email address.  

Every day of the summit you will be emailed a link to that day’s videos.  Those videos will be available for free for 48 hours. After that, if you want to watch them you will have to sign up for the All-Access Pass.

Click here to sign up for your FREE ticket to the Canadian Financial Summit.

What is the All-Access Pass?

The All-Access Pass is your ticket to lifetime access to all of the great speakers at this year’s summit.  

When you buy it you don’t have to worry about watching all of the sessions right away. And you can re-watch them as many times as you need in order to get the most out of the information.

But there is a fee for the All-Access Pass and that fee goes up once the summit starts so your best option is to buy it in advance as part of the early bird special.

What bonuses come with the All-Access Pass?

This year the All-Access Pass includes over $1000 worth of bonuses.

Not only will you get lifetime access to all of the summit sessions, but you will also get 4 exclusive Q&A sessions where you can get your questions answered, 6 exclusive expert sessions only available to All-Access Pass holders, and a whole bunch of other extras.

The 4 exclusive Q&A sessions are with:

  • Investing Specialist – Peter Hodson 
  • Personal Finance Specialist – Alanna Abramsky
  • Financial Planning Specialist – Ed Rempel 
  • Cryptocurrency Specialist – Brendan Wood

Here are the 6 bonus interviews you get life-time access to:

  • Kyle Prevost – My Personal Plan for Perpetual Travel
  • Kornel Szrejber – Canada’s Most Burning Investing Questions – Answered
  • Stephanie Myers and Gillian Batt – Can It Really be THAT CHEAP to Travel the World Forever?
  • Korney Szrejber – Investing In Your Children’s Financial Future: An In-Depth RESP Guide
  • Kyle Prevost – The Dark Side of Expat Life: Lifestyle Inflation
  • Tom Williams – Pay 1% Income Tax in Tbilisi, Georgia

Is the All-Access Pass worth it?

In a word yes. 

The fact that for less than $100 (early bird price) you can get over $1000 worth of bonuses makes it a no-brainer.  But if that doesn’t convince you, the Canadian Financial Summit also offers a money-back guarantee when you buy the All-Access Pass.  That’s how confident they are that the pass is worth the price.

But in order to get the most out of the All-Access Pass buy it before the summit starts.  Once the summit starts the price goes up to $197.

How to get the most out of the Canadian Financial Summit?

As someone who has attended every Canadian Financial Summit and has bought the All-Access Pass in the past here are my 3 tips for getting the most out of the summit.

  1. Check out the speakers and their talks in advance and make a list of your top 3 for the day
  2. Schedule a few hours each day of the summit to watch that day’s videos
  3. Buy the All-Access Pass in advance to save money. (*hint* when you sign up for your free ticket sometimes you get an offer to save even more off of the early bird rate – this is the best price for the All-Access Pass – buy it then).

The only year that I did not regret getting the All-Access Pass was when I was on maternity leave and home all day.  There is so much great information at the summit that while working I cannot devote enough time to watch all of the great speakers.

And this year the All-Access Pass features exclusive sessions and Q&As.  I’m all for a great deal so I prefer to buy the All-Access Pass in advance so I don’t have to pay more once the summit has started.

But hey, that’s just me.  You need to make the best choice for your personal financial situation.

Final Thoughts

For the past few years, the Canadian Financial Summit has been something that I look forward to in the fall.  This is not one of those pandemic summits that are popping up now because people cannot meet in person.  This is the original summit related to Canadian personal finance.

This summit has always been a virtual summit that I love. The organizers want you to have the information (for free) without having to travel to get it.  You can watch the whole summit in your pajamas on your couch if you want.

And I could not be more excited to be a speaker at this year’s summit.  With tickets being free you really have nothing to lose.  Even if you sign up and only watch 1 session you will get your free ticket’s money’s worth.

Now that you know everything there is to know about this year’s summit, who are you most looking forward to hearing at the 2021 Canadian Financial Summit?

  1. It looks like there are some GREAT topics here being brought to us by knowledgeable speakers. If nothing else came out of the whole COVID situation, it has forced people around the world to reconsider our current financial situation. For some, it was a realization that they are thankful for the steps that they took to prepare themselves for a potential crisis. For others, it was the eye-opener that they needed that changes MUST be made, and soon. While my husband and I haven’t been struggling, we did realize that there are some areas in our finances that could definitely use improvement and started taking steps towards doing so.

    1. Britt – I think that you’re right and this pandemic has been a real financial eye-opener. There is no better time for the Canadian Financial Summit and all of the free knowledge that’s available.
