The inaugural IFA-CON (Independent Financial Advisers Convention) will take place on Thursday, 7 September at The Star in Sydney, ahead of the ifa Excellence Awards to be held at the same venue that evening.
The event will feature a stellar line-up of international and national speakers, with a unique mix of rallying speeches, expert analysis and industry debates relevant to the growing independent and non-aligned financial advice movement.
ifa will collaborate with other supporters of the IFA movement such as commercial partners, industry lobby groups, non-aligned licensees and advice practices to produce the groundbreaking event.
“IFA-CON will celebrate and recognise Australia’s independent and non-aligned advisers and bring them under one roof for a milestone event,” said Jim Hall, head of events and professional development at Momentum Media.
“The convention will complement the activities of the ifa Excellence Awards in helping to foster a greater sense of community in the IFA sector and bring all of the relevant stakeholders together.”

Agreed with one of the “anonymous” brigade (why can’t people say who they are?) – holding a function at a casino is dumb. I won’t attend anything at a casino, nor even eat at a restaurant within a casino complex. Financial advisers should never be seen on those premises because association is a powerful product of doing so. Westpac/BT stopped using the Perth casino about 6 years ago after I suggested they would damage their brand by doing so, but I see they’ve recently reverted to form.
your comment is unAustralian. whats wrong with a little punt? hope you dont inflict your values down the throats of your clients the way you are with us. If you dont like the venue, dont come but personally ill be there with bells on. might even play some blackjack
Have you guys ever been to the star? the event center is not in the casino! get your facts straight.
hmm at a Casino?
great idea – comedy name!
Is this really helpful for industry ? Another conference .. non aligned views excuse the pun
better than another association!
good to see the focus on independence, we have been lumped in with bank planners for too long
With the mass media looking for any excuse to smear and belittle the reputation of financial planners, do you really think IFA-CON is a sensible name for this?
lighten up anonymous. i reckon even the idiots in the press will realise what it stands for.
The press aren’t idiots, they’re malicious and unethical. Misrepresentation is their stock in trade. Why give them something that can be so easily misrepresented? While the conference itself sounds great, I for one will not risk attending an event called “IFA-CON” held at a casino, out of fear of being caught in a slimy media ambush. Particularly when it is a short walk away from the lair of the Fairfax gutter brigade.
