Early bird pricing for this year’s Financial Advice Association Australia (FAAA) Congress will close on 30 September.
The Congress, being held in Melbourne from 24 to 26 November, will have the theme ‘Explore’, reflecting the FAAA’s commitment to equipping financial advisers with practical strategies, technical expertise, and fresh thinking to navigate an evolving profession.
Currently, FAAA member tickets are $1,305 and non-member tickets are $2,695. Once early bird registration closes full price members are $1,650 and non-member tickets are $2,995.
The Congress features an impressive keynote line-up, with internationally recognised investor and engineer Dr Jordan Nguyen opening the event to explore how curiosity, innovation, and emerging technologies are reshaping what’s possible. The Congress will close with Melbourne Cup-winning jockey Michelle Payne in conversation with Emmy Award-winning journalist Sara James, sharing lessons in resilience, leadership, and achieving success against the odds.
FAAA chair David Sharpe says Congress is the highlight of the FAAA’s calendar and the place where Australia’s advice profession comes together.
“The early pricing represents a significant saving, and I strongly encourage those planning to attend to purchase their tickets before 30 September,” Sharpe says.
“This year’s program has been carefully curated to cover the issues shaping the future of financial advice. From regulation and compliance through to business growth and practice innovation, every session is designed to provide practical insights advisers can take back into their business.”
Sharpe says the Congress provides more than just education.
“Advisers will hear from industry leaders on developments in the profession, have their thinking challenged, and learn from their peers. There are excellent networking opportunities throughout the three days, including the CPD-accredited sessions and technical workshops, as well as the FAAA Awards Gala Dinner on the final evening where we celebrate excellence in the profession.”
The program features keynote speakers, specialist workshops, and more than 20 technical breakout sessions across four learning streams, Develop, Strategies, Navigate, and Expand, ensuring there’s something for every adviser, regardless of their experience level or focus area.
