Last week, we had our ASFA NSW Regs & Legs presentation featuring special guest speakers, Kathryn Ginns from Source and Julie Hartley from Hamilton Locke. They discussed the marketing of financial products and services, offering loads of insights into advice, disclosure obligations, marketing strategies, DDO, and even a bit about greenwashing.
With the ASFA conference just around the corner on on 19-21 November, our next ASFA NSW discussion group webinar will be on 9 December. Also our final CREW webinar for 2024 will be on 14 November - details below. If you have any thoughts on speakers or topics for ASFA or CREW in 2025, please let us know.
And a reminder for PDS Managers - make sure you register for our PDS Managers roundtable hybrid event on 26 November - details also below.
Cheers
Katie and Deb
