2024 National Industry Conference: Empower Excellence

The finance and mortgage broking industry’s signature event, the FBAA National Industry Conference, is just around the corner. We’re looking forward to another stellar line-up of speakers Friday 1 November, at Royal Pines Resort on the Gold Coast.

The broking industry’s premier events will return on Friday 1 November at the Gold Coast. The FBAA’s suite of signature events – the 2024 FBAA National Industry Conference, Awards of Supremacy and themed gala dinner – are a highlight on brokers’ calendars around Australia. For one day, we come together to elevate knowledge, be inspired, celebrate our peers and cut-loose on the dancefloor.

The industry’s largest and best attended event is of course the National Industry Conference, and this year’s theme is Empower Excellence. As your chosen broker association, we are just as dedicated to your success as we know you are. Through a topnotch line-up of speakers, you will gain industry insight, learn tips to accelerate your business and be energised by the speakers’ sharing their stories.

“It’s going to be a blast,” says Peter White, FBAA Managing Director. “Great speakers, relevant topics, and lots for brokers to take away and use within their business. As always, this event is not to be missed.”
