In just over a month our 2017 congress series will kick off in Sydney. But this year, we have something a little bit extra special planned, and not just in Sydney.

This year, we have amassed a speaker line-up that is beyond anything we have achieved before, and we have focussed on trying to get as many of the great keynote speakers as possible to speak at each of the conferences.

As always, we will be recruiting the best local executive talent and EA / PA talent in each local city to take part in our panel sessions, but even there, our researchers are working tirelessly to ensure that these participants are also the best we have ever had.

Your local conference

As mentioned, we are working with most of our major keynote speakers to have them deliver in most if not all of the cities in the 2017 conference series. As a result, we should be able to announce those details for all the cities within the next month.

Starting with our Canberra conference in July, followed by Brisbane in September, Melbourne in November and Perth next February, we want to bring you the details of the major speakers as soon as possible so that you can start making preparations to attend.

So keep an eye out in the next month for the website with details for your local conference and highlights of the keynote speakers we will have participating there. We will be taking heavily discounted bookings at that stage for advanced notice registrations, ahead of the full program being released, so for those who know they will attend, that will make it the best possible time to register and get the best deals.

Sydney Speaker Line up

For now, we strongly suggest you check out our Sydney speaker page so you can see the truly sensational Keynote speakers, executives and EAs/ PAs we have presenting this year.

As mentioned, we expect that most of these keynoter speakers will be speaking in each city but we are just waiting to confirm a few last details in respect of this.
