Buenos Aires: the next stop
The AMP Financial Planning offshore conference in 2002 has been slated for Bue-nos Aires, Argentina.
The AMP Financial Planning offshore conference in 2002 has been slated for Bue-nos Aires, Argentina.
The announcement was made by AMP Financial Planning managing director Steve Hel-mich to conference delegates at the Welcome Reception held on Sunday evening.
The choice of location was a closely kept secret with delegates thrown off the trail with booths at the reception hinting the conference could be in destina-tions anywhere from Europe to Asia and the Pacific and numerous other well known global regions and cities.
Helmich says the destination is a good stepping off point to the rest of the continent with the emphasis being on the location as part of the greater South American experience.
The week long conference follows on from the highly successful and popular con-ferences in Banff, Canada in 1998 and the upcoming April conference in Vienna, Austria, and will keep the same format and thematic approach linked to the des-tination.
The final dates and venue locations for the conference as well as the qualifying details will be sent out in February, with the performance criteria for finan-cial planners, as measured over two years and used for previous conferences be-ing applied again.
AMP Financial Planning national operations manager Len Whelan and conference or-ganiser says expected numbers should be about 900. Financial advisers will make up nearly 300 of that number including 75 coming from New Zealand, and the re-mainder being made up by partners, AMP staff and speakers.
