Broker cluster group Steadfast is expecting to break all records at its 13^th annual convention starting next weekend.

More than 1700 registrations have been received for this year’s event, outscoring last year’s Perth convention.

The conference will be held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from Saturday to Tuesday and will feature a wide range of guest speakers, including polar explorer Professor Robert Swan, Catlin Group CEO Stephen Catlin and brand expert Simon Hammond.

A spokesman says the convention will also feature more than 100 exhibitors in the central exhibition area.
