Our conference is in idyllic Cairns Queensland and will provide you and your team the tools and vision to have Clarity. Control and Confidence as we move into the new decade.

It’s about a journey we are all on. It’s a quest to get a clear picture of where we need to head. To get clarity of that picture and put some planning and controls around it so you are in control. Once you have that clarity and control, you will have the confidence to push further and take more calculated risks to grow and develop your business.

As we bring our conference onshore to Cairns for the first time in a number of years, we are reframing our conference to reflect the changing environment, importantly around community expectations and the professionalism of the financial advice industry.

The agenda is filled with advanced learning sessions, both on an individual and business level, prominent speakers, highly relevant workshops and exciting evening events which are all integral to any of our Conferences.

We hope you can join us in beautiful Cairns this year!
