Returning for its twenty-ninth year, the AFIA Conference is the must-attend event for the Australian finance industry – a platform where bold thinking, critical conversations and powerful partnerships converge. This year’s theme, Where Ideas Connect, recognises the importance of coming together to exchange knowledge, challenge perspectives and shape the future of financial services in Australia.

As our operating environment continues to evolve at pace, the conference will bring together senior leaders, innovators, and changemakers to unpack the most pressing trends, challenges and opportunities facing our industry. From shifting consumer expectations and emerging technologies to sustainable finance, regulation, and economic uncertainty – no topic is off the table.

Attendees will hear from keynote speakers and expert panels on the issues that matter most, including AI and data, payments, fraud prevention, sustainability, and leadership in an age of transformation. It’s a chance to step away from day-to-day pressures and invest in ideas that will help drive your organisation – and our industry – forward.

The conference will again coincide with our prestigious awards gala dinner – The Affies – held on the evening of the main event. All conference delegates will receive complimentary access to the dinner, where we’ll celebrate the individuals and organisations helping to finance Australia’s future.

Whether you’re looking to stay ahead of the curve, broaden your network, gain CPD points or simply be part of the conversation – the AFIA Conference is where it all connects.
