Big ideas. Powerful connections.
Game-changing insights.
Ahead of the Curve
FAAA Congress comes to Perth - 18-20 November 2025
Get ready for three high-impact days designed to challenge, inspire and connect the financial advice profession, with a powerful mix of plenary sessions, workshops, technical deep-dives and networking events.
Big ideas. Real impact.
Across four powerful plenary sessions, Congress 2025 will challenge and inspire you to lead, adapt and stay ahead of the curve. We’ll kick off with FAAA CEO Sarah Abood on the state of the profession and the leadership needed to shape its future, followed by behavioural scientist Milo Wilkinson, who will unpack how our brains drive decision-making in a fast-changing world.
You'll then hear directly from FAAA leaders in a candid panel discussion on policy, advocacy and regulation — and what it all means for your future in advice. Next, rethink the advice process with Patrick Flynn and Nadia Docker as they explore how client experience, compliance and business efficiency can work in harmony.
We’ll close on a high with Liam Bartlett in conversation with cricket greats Adam Gilchrist and Isa Guha — drawing powerful lessons in strategy, leadership and adaptability from the sporting world to help you lead your practice like a pro.
