The opening keynote will feature FAAA CEO Sarah Abood on the state of the profession and the leadership needed for the future.

Milo Wilkinson will explore how neuroscience and behavioural futurism can help advisers better understand how people think, decide, and connect in a changing world.

Strategist and change management expert Patrick Flynn, along with compliance consultant Nadia Docker, will lead a session on how client experience, compliance, and operational efficiency can align to drive business performance.

The closing plenary, Ahead of the Game: cricket & financial planning – lessons from the legends, will feature award-winning broadcaster Liam Bartlett in conversation with cricket icons the record-breaking Adam Gilchrist and Isa Guha, one of England’s greatest ever female bowlers.

Together, they will explore the mindset and skills needed to lead, collaborate and pivot with purpose, on the pitch and in the practice.

Attendees will also hear from FAAA leaders in a panel session exploring policy, advocacy and regulatory change, and what it all means for the future of advice.

Abood said Congress 2025 – to be held on 18, 19, and 20 November – has been designed with its members “front and centre”.

“It will deliver practical tools and insights to help navigate today’s complex technical and regulatory landscape, while providing valuable opportunities for advisers to connect, collaborate, and learn from peers across the country and internationally,” she said.
