October is approaching fast, and before you know it, it will be time to pack your bags to head over to the Gold Coast for the 2023 NIBA Convention. With this being the first face-to-face Convention in over three years, the long-awaited opportunity to be able to finally be in the same room and network with peers and other industry professionals cannot be overstated.

When it comes to networking, the Convention has you covered. With plenty of planned social events at your disposal, here’s what you need to know to get the most out of your Convention experience.

NIBA CGU Welcome Function

Date: Sunday 8 October 2023

Time: 6:30pm – 10:00pm

Venue: The Lawn, The Star Gold Coast Included for all full registrations, young professional registrations, and accompanying partner registrations. Additional tickets are available.

A precursor to kicking off the more formal proceedings, the NIBA CGU Welcome Function has been a longstanding Convention tradition, where attendees can relax, let their hair down and network with each other in a more casual setting.

Niba Marketplace

Need a place to recharge in between thought-provoking talks, keynote speeches and sessions throughout the Convention? Head on over to the NIBA Marketplace. Meet up with your peers when you have a break in your schedule, liaise with the many exhibitors who will be at the Convention, find out more about the products and services that will be instrumental in transforming our industry and profession, or just catch a breather before your next session.

The Convention is a great opportunity to come together with our colleagues from around Australia. It doesn’t matter whether you’re from small, regional cities or from large, international networks. It’s a fantastic opportunity to meet with peers, learn together, grow together and network together.”
