National Finance Brokers Day (NFPD) 2024 is fast approaching, and the event organisers have rolled out a special ticket promotion to mark the occasion.
Attendees can now take advantage of a buy-one-get-one-free offer available from today.
Dino Pacella (pictured above), event founder and head of third-party relationships at Simplicity Loans & Advisory, said the promotion is a fantastic opportunity for industry professionals to bring along a colleague or friend to one of the year's most anticipated events in the mortgage and finance sector.
“If you’re on the fence about attending, do it for the sake of your team,” Pacella said.
“Take a day out of the business and take your junior broker, your loan processor, admin staff, or even your favourite BDM and show them the diversity of ideas that exist within our industry.”
Held annually on the third Wednesday of August, National Finance Brokers Day provides brokers with an opportunity to gain insights and network in a relaxed environment, free from the sales pressures commonly found at other professional development events.
“It's a whole industry event, not tied to any specific aggregator or association,” said Pacella.
However, Pacella also wanted to make it a point that it’s not just brokers that stand to benefit.
“It's for everyone in the brokerage industry, no matter what role they play,” he said.
“From business development managers (BDMs) to admin staff, aggregators, support staff, and marketing teams, this day acknowledges the vital contributions of all non-broker professionals,” he said.
Pacella said these roles often go unrecognised at the industry awards, yet they are essential to the smooth operation and success of brokerage firms.
“This year, make sure to take a moment to appreciate and celebrate these unsung heroes of the industry.”
Hosted by master of ceremonies Siobhan Williams, head of mortgages – retail broker at Pepper Money, NFBD promises to deliver a stellar lineup of industry greats and rising stars.
Participants at the Aug. 21 event will have the opportunity to see the three peak industry associations – MFAA, FBAA, and CAFBA – discuss the future of broking, in what is perhaps a first for the industry.
The event will also include a fireside chat with industry legends Mark Bouris AM and James Symond.
Other events include:
"We’ve moved the venue from last year to accommodate an extra couple of hundred attendees. We are anticipating 450 but could go up to 550 if needed," said Pacella.
For those unable to make it to the Sydney conference, NFBD 2024 is also being hosted via livestream.
For $99 per ticket, attendees can get access online to the full day, access to the Grand Lodge for all the speakers, and behind the scenes with the live MC.
"With the costs and expenses that everyone is experiencing, this offer gives people, especially those from Perth or Adelaide, the option to attend without the additional burden of flights and accommodation," Pacella said.
The theme of NFPD 2024, "stronger, together, unstoppable”, embodies the essence of unity and resilience within the financial community, Pacella said.
“It signifies that when finance professionals come together, they become a force to be reckoned with, capable of overcoming any challenge,” Pacella said. “It highlights the unbreakable bond forged through shared expertise, dedication, and a common vision for a brighter financial future.”
Pacella hopes the theme serves as a rallying cry, inspiring brokers to forge ahead with “determination and camaraderie”, making each day a testament to their collective strength.
“Together, finance brokers stand stronger and unstoppable in their pursuit of excellence, innovation, and unwavering commitment to serving their clients and the industry as a whole.”
