Sarah Abood
Early bird tickets to the Financial Advice Association Australia’s (FAAA) 2026 roadshow are now available. The roadshows will take place across Australia, visiting six cities during April and May.
FAAA CEO Sarah Abood, general manager of policy, advocacy & standards Phil Anderson, and chair David Sharpe CFP® will provide updates on the FAAA’s activities and priorities.
The keynote speaker is Jacqui Cooper OAM, Australia’s most decorated aerial skier. A five-time Winter Olympian, World Champion, and one of the most successful aerial skiers in the history of the sport, Cooper has spent over two decades quite literally defying gravity. Her session will be a masterclass in resilience, reinvention, and relentless self-belief.
Other key sessions include:
-
Business Efficiency: Beyond AI Filenotes – Unlock the next wave of efficiency in financial advice: In this collaborative session we will hear from three tech providers who have come together to solve for developing efficiencies in the advice process. They will discuss where tech is now and how advice firms are maximising automation today. This session is tech tool agnostic, and will provide advisers with practical ways to enhance the client experience and scale their advice offering.
-
Advising with Confidence – Working Through Ethical Conflict: In this adviser-led interactive 60-minute session, advisers will practise recognising conflicts and working methodically through grey areas. Attendees will walk away with a practical framework to use when next faced with a complex, ethically challenging client situation.
-
Hear from award-winning advisers. At each Roadshow session, an FAAA award-winning adviser will share their insights, their path to success and what makes their business and practice unique.
Abood says Roadshow helps create meaningful opportunities to connect with industry peers.
“We’re bringing people together from across the profession to unpack what’s happening, share practical experience and have honest conversations about the realities of advice today,” Abood says.
“With regulatory settings and client expectations continuing to evolve, these events create a practical and engaging opportunity to remain connected and confident in our industry.
“Our program has been carefully curated by advisers, for advisers. That means the discussions are grounded, relevant and useful for advisers and their staff, generating practical takeaways that can be integrated quickly into their practice.”
