AFA launches 2013 GenXt Road Show
The Association of Financial Advisers (AFA) has launched the 2013 GenXt Road Show, which will kick off in Hobart on 5 February and visit Adelaide, Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.
The GenXt Road Show, now in its sixth year, will help the younger generation of advisers prepare for the year ahead, according to AFA chief executive officer Brad Fox.
The AFA will also be presenting the initial findings of its latest research into consumer expectations of the financial advice experience, which was sponsored by AIA and powered by Business Health.
Over 1400 advisers nationally are expected to attend the roadshow.
