I'm back from an incredible safari in South Africa and Namibia, and what a trip it was! We were lucky enough to spot the Big Five - lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants and African buffalo - along with plenty of giraffes, zebras, hippos and even flamingoes. I highly recommend it for a family adventure holiday!
It's definitely conference season. Last week, Matt was at FundTech 2024, and just yesterday, I attended the AFR Super & Wealth Summit 2024. There was an interesting session about AI - check out the fantastic article from McKinsey Digital below on what the future holds with AI, and if you want a good AI expert to follow on LinkedIn, I recommend Conor Grennan.
Many thanks for Katie and Deb to continuing to send our newsletter each week. It seems like there's been lots happening! Be sure to check out all the latest news and events below.
Cheers
Sarah
