Brief the Boss – Melbourne

About this event

The super sector’s key decision makers have some serious questions about the future. And they want to hear what our Future Leaders think.

For the launch of ASFA’s new Future Leaders event series, we’re flipping the script on professional development events. There’s no stage, no mic, and no politely eating your dinner while listening to a long keynote. Instead, you’ll be in real two-way conversations about the big issues facing our industry in the coming decades.

Pull up a seat with a small group of fellow Future Leaders and rotate around the room in a series of timed conversations with sector “bosses”: senior leaders drawn from different roles and functions across funds and service providers. Each boss will bring a burning question to the table. Share your take, hear theirs in return, and at the end of the night each boss will reflect on what’s stuck with them from the evening’s conversations.
