The conference will be held across five capital cities, including Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth.

This year’s event, held in partnership with SuperConcepts, will feature new speakers, including Darren Wynen from Insyt who will delve into details about the ECPI changes and pension strategies in the post-reform environment.

Smarter SMSF chief executive Aaron Dunn will provide tips and traps about events-based reporting and examine some scenarios that may crop up with SMSF clients.

SuperConcepts general manager for technical services Peter Burgess will present again this year and provide a comprehensive wrap of technical, regulatory and legislative developments in the sector, including ATO rulings and interpretive decisions.

Cooper Grace Ward lawyer Scott Hay-Bartlem will give insight into the critical estate planning questions that have arisen from the major superannuation changes and what existing structures may have unravelled for SMSF clients.

The ATO will also be there on the day to discuss what concerns are on their radar and answer questions about regulatory issues.
