The FAAA South Australia State Community Committee is excited to bring back one of our favourite events of the year — the End of Financial Year Quiz Night, returning on Thursday 25 June at The Elephant British Pub.

Join us as we celebrate the end of another financial year with a night of trivia, laughs and a little friendly competition alongside fellow FAAA members, colleagues and friends. Whether you’re a quiz master or just in it for the fun, this is the perfect way to unwind and connect.

Enjoy drinks and nibbles while you put your knowledge to the test and take on the competition. Don’t worry if you can’t get a team together — if you’d like to attend, please reach out and we’ll happily place you in a team. Corporate tables of eight (8) are also available for those looking to bring a full group along.

Spots fill quickly, so be sure to secure your place early.

We can’t wait to welcome you back for another fantastic night!

2026 Certainty Conference – Your Competition is Not AI
Jul 2 @ 8:45 am – Jul 3 @ 5:00 pm

For two days, participate with the most valuable advice teams delivering the most valuable advice propositions that will thrive in the AI era.
Most financial advice teams are technically competent.

Fewer advice teams are valuably competent.

Being valuably competent is the business model for the AI Advice era. It differs from the hourly, FUM-based, key-person-dependent expert approach of the last 30 years.

The future of advice is not built on AI, it’s built on value – client value.

The Certainty Conference closes the gap between technical and value competency for advice teams.

Every participant will develop deeper connections, conversations, and understandings, along with the frameworks that grow valuable advice teams that deliver better returns for clients, teams and directors.
