The Brentnalls Affiliation Conference held in Perth in March 2026 brought together advisers from across the network for three days of connection, insight and practical learning. Hosted across multiple venues and breakout groups, the conference focused on strengthening advisory capability, sharing practice updates, and preparing firms for the year ahead.

Proceedings commenced on Wednesday with specialist group sessions, including Woman in Brentnalls with guest speaker Bethan Winn, alongside dedicated Business Advisory Group (BAG) and Tax Group meetings. The Tax Group sessions delivered deep technical insights into the year ahead in tax, key legislative developments, and real-world problem-solving across restructuring, related-party transactions, and international tax matters. The BAG meeting encouraged collaboration through panel discussions, firm presentations and exploration of AI resources in advisory.

Thursday’s agenda shifted to whole‑group updates, featuring executive insights, practice updates from across the country, and a strong focus on the role of the trusted advisor. Attendees heard from leaders across states, reinforcing collaboration, shared challenges, and opportunities within the Brentnalls affiliation.

The conference concluded on Friday with a practical, forward‑focused agenda. Highlights included presentation skills training, an automation demonstration, breakout sessions, and accountability reporting by each firm. Group updates across BAG, AI, WIB, Tax and Next Gen reinforced the network’s commitment to innovation, capability building and future leadership. Networking continued into the evenings, with shared dinners providing informal opportunities to strengthen relationships.

Overall, the Perth 2026 conference reinforced the strength of the Brentnalls affiliation — a connected, forward‑thinking network committed to excellence, collaboration and continuous improvement.
