“I wonder what it would be like to live in a world where it was always June,” Lucy Maud Montgomery once mused, via the voice of her much-loved creation, Anne Shirley.

In a word? Busy. It would be very, very busy.

June — and yes, the tail end of May — is conference season for the financial services industry, and the news team at Advisor.ca has been diligently covering as many sessions as we could get out to.

Some of these conference sessions inspired us to dash off an immediate dispatch, while others provided us with food for thought, requiring a little more time to fully develop the story.

Below is a collection of the stories we have brought to you so far.
