The Academy of Financial Services (Australia and NZ Chapter) (formerly Financial Planning Academics Forum (FPAF)) is hosting their biannual meeting and the 12thPersonal Finance and Investment Symposium at QUT Gardens Point campus in Brisbane, Australia from November 25 - 26, 2024.
The meeting and symposium, themed “The Future of the Profession”, aim to explore the dynamic and evolving nature of the financial planning profession. With a hybrid format, we support both face-to-face attendance in Brisbane and virtual attendance of presenters and attendees. We therefore invite submissions from academics and practitioners worldwide to contribute to this significant dialogue.
Following FPAF's vote to become the AFS (Australia and NZ Chapter), the abstract submission date has been extended to provide the opportunity for more AFS members to participate.
