Advice Worth Taking

Wrest Point, Hobart, Tasmania - 25-27 May, 2000

The Financial Planning Association's second CFP Conference opens in Hobart, Tas-mania at the newly updated Wrest Point Convention centre on 25 May, 2000.

Themed Advice Worth Taking, the three-day conference, which is open to both CFPs and aspiring CFPs, has an impressive line up of speakers and new flip-chart ses-sions. Delegates will be offered the opportunity to share their business prac-tices and to actively participate in discussion and forum sessions.

Two optional pre-conference workshops will run from 1pm on Thursday afternoon. The first is the GST and Business Skills roadshow, which has been touring the capital cities over the past few months. With the introduction of the GST only a month away, the workshop offers the perfect opportunity to hone you GST skills.

The second workshop, What Matters Most, brings Mike Stone of the Franklin Covey Group to the platform. This will be a highly interactive workshop that will ad-dress business practice activities, staff liaison and management, and getting away from the thick and thin of things.

Greg Sullivan, a highly successful financial planner and director of Sullivan, Bruyette, Speros and Blayney, is one of the conference's international speakers. Greg will give the opening practitioner plenary address entitled, Towards Excel-lence. On Saturday, practitioners will again have the opportunity to hear Sulli-van in a concurrent workshop session entitled Doing Excellence.

Other topics on the program cover the latest investment planning issues and strategies, and legislative issues that impact on the practitioner, including the latest information on the forthcoming CLERP 6. A marketing session will of-fer all financial planners both expert information and the benefit of facili-tated workshops to explore the most beneficial strategies for targeted markets.
