Keynote / Fireside Chat
Hear from a leading market voice on the big forces shaping investors, companies and markets. You will leave with a clearer view of the risks and opportunities that may influence portfolios over the year ahead.

High Conviction Ideas Panel
Fund managers and investment specialists share where they are finding opportunity, what they are avoiding, and how they are thinking about valuation, risk and long-term returns. This session is designed to help investors test their own thinking and identify new areas for research.

ETFs: Building Better Portfolios
ETFs are now a core part of many investor portfolios, but choice and strategy matter. This session will explore how investors can use ETFs for diversification, income, global exposure and thematic investing, while understanding the risks and trade-offs.

Chair Panel: Leadership, Governance and Long-Term Value
Hear directly from experienced company Chairs on how boards think about strategy, performance, risk, culture and shareholder value. This session gives investors a rare opportunity to understand what happens inside the boardroom and what matters when assessing company leadership.

CEO Panel: Large and Small Cap Company Perspectives
CEOs will discuss how they are navigating growth, capital allocation, competition, regulation and changing market conditions. Investors will hear directly from company leaders and gain practical insights into what drives performance across different parts of the market.

AI and Technology Investing
Explore which companies may benefit from the AI theme and how investors can use AI tools in their own research. This session is designed to move beyond the hype and help investors think more clearly about opportunity, risk and practical application.

Global Markets and International Opportunities
Australian investors are increasingly looking beyond the ASX. This session will examine global themes, sectors and markets that may offer diversification and growth, while helping investors understand currency, valuation and geopolitical risks.

Gold, Silver and Resources
Resources remain an important part of many Australian portfolios. This session will explore the outlook for gold, silver, energy and key commodities, and what investors should consider when assessing resource companies and market cycles.

What Matters to Retail Investors
Retail shareholders are a diverse group, but many want the same thing: companies that perform, communicate clearly and treat shareholders fairly. This session will explore the issues that matter most to investors, from governance and capital management to transparency, dividends and long-term value.

Investor Networking and Community
One of the greatest benefits of the Summit is the opportunity to meet other investors. Share ideas, compare approaches and build the knowledge and confidence to become a better investor.
