Day 3
Get ready to shine, literally. The theme is Gold and we want to see it in your attire — go head-to-toe glam or add a touch of gold sparkle, and help us turn the room into a sea of gold shimmer and shine. Live music from Furnace and the Fundamentals to close the night out. Thank you to our golden gala dinner hosts, our co-major sponsors ANZ, Bankwest, Commonwealth Bank, Macquarie Bank and NAB.

Eligibility
The conference is open to all AFG brokers (principal/business owner or loan writer), and to AFG sponsors involved in the 2026 Broker Excellence Program. Due to venue capacity, registrations are capped.
Once registrations are received from brokers and sponsor partners, a second phase opens to AFG brokers' support and administration staff (if capped numbers haven't been exceeded). We'd love brokers to bring their teams, but every broker must first have the opportunity to secure their place. If places remain after early bird closes, we'll invite you to register additional support staff.
