Why the ACI Annual Conference Should Be on Every Compliance Professional’s Calendar

Australia’s regulatory and risk environment is changing faster than ever. For compliance professionals, whether seasoned leaders or those stepping into new governance roles, the Australian Compliance Institute (ACI) Annual Conference is the year’s essential forum for insight, connection and professional growth.

According to Rebecca Ellis, AIA Australia’s General Manager Compliance, the ACI’s Annual Conference offers something unique for both members and non-members. “The conference is a really great opportunity to hear from a variety of different and respected speakers, to build your knowledge, and to gain some truly different perspectives on key topics.”

 

A Marketplace of Ideas and Perspectives

This is more than a series of presentations. It is a space where leading regulators, industry practitioners and risk specialists openly share their experiences. Delegates hear from experts shaping policy as well as professionals solving real-world compliance challenges. “You’ll gain different perspectives on topics that matter. It’s a chance to explore new ideas and challenge your own thinking,” notes Rebecca. For non-members, this first-hand access to a breadth of views is an ideal way to experience the value of the ACI network and see how membership can support professional development throughout the year.

A Cross-Industry Community

The conference attracts attendees from banking and financial services, superannuation, consulting, technology, government and more. The diversity creates an environment where knowledge and experience flow freely between sectors. “It’s a great community from a variety of different industries, where you can catch up with some old friends and acquaintances, but also meet some new people to add to your network and bounce those ideas off.” Whether you are an ACI member looking to deepen relationships or a non-member keen to discover the breadth of Australia’s compliance ecosystem, the conference offers unmatched opportunities to expand your professional network.

Professional Development that Delivers

The Annual Conference is designed to give you tools and insights you can put into practice immediately – earning CPD points and sharpening the skills needed for today’s complex regulatory landscape.“The training and development is excellent. I’m sending a few of my staff members so that they can benefit as well. They’ve been in the past and have always loved it.” Sending team members ensures your organisation multiplies the benefits, bringing back new knowledge, industry updates and innovative approaches.

Strong Value for Your Budget

Budgets matter, and the conference is carefully priced to ensure value. “It’s actually quite good and quite economical from your budgeting point of view,” says Rebecca. For organisations weighing training investments, the conference offers a high return: world-class speakers, rich networking and practical professional development, all in one event.
