AFA Conference
The Association of Financial Advisers (AFA)’s 2007 National Conference on the Gold Coast aims to provide delegates with practical solutions to industry challenges, according to conference chairman Paul Riegelhuth.
Riegelhuth said that, in response to adviser feedback about last year’s event, the 2007 conference will feature presentations from more than 70 renowned industry professionals on a diversity of topics with plenty of suggestions on how to implement theories and ideas in individual practices.
“Our feedback from last year was that attendees wanted more access to the ideas and experiences of proven industry professionals as well as the opportunity to meet and connect with their peers,” AFA chief executive Richard Klipin said.
“The AFA has answered these requests and, we believe, have added more practical, ready-to-use ideas for advisers.”
The conference, to be held from October 14 to 16, will also feature 44 exhibitors, practical information on building skill sets for younger advisers via the GenXT stream and presentation of the Adviser of the Year and Rising Star of the Year awards.
