The first Trans-Tasman Strategic Leaders Summit for the financial services sector will take place in Auckland next year. 

The event will run from March 5-7 and is organised by the Financial Services Councils (FSCs) of Australia and New Zealand. 

“The joint FSC regional summit will mark a step change in curation of collaborative industry events across the financial services sector,” FSC Australia CEO Blake Briggs said. 

He says the summit will allow industry leaders to network and collaborate on a regional stage, particularly for organisations and service providers with a global footprint that operate, or are looking to operate, in both Australia and New Zealand, and across the Asia-Pacific. 

The program is currently being planned by the associations’ members with speaker announcements, including political, regulatory and industry leading insights, to be made in the lead up to the event. 

“The Strategic Leaders Summit will cover all the sectors our associations represent, superannuation and Kiwisaver, funds management, insurance, and financial advice, and bring regulators and political leaders across the region into the discussion,” FSC New Zealand CEO Richard Klipin said.
