Local events
Content Summary
We’d previously announced that we would be holding local networking events across Australia and New Zealand as part of Congress 2021. Unfortunately, due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, some local events will not be proceeding as planned.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. We are notifying delegates who hold bookings for events that are not proceeding and are refunding all event fees.
In place of these events, you will have the opportunity to access some of these keynote speakers’ presentations OnDemand through the Congress virtual platform.
International CPA Australia offices are monitoring the COVID-19 situation and will announce details to their membership if and when an event is viable. In the interim, please contact your local office.

The events scheduled for Western Australia, South Australia and Queensland will go ahead, pending any COVID-19 restrictions. If you've been missing the ability to connect in person, we encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to meet, connect and network with other CPA Australia members and finance and accounting professions in your community as well as hear from a leading speaker. Tickets are limited, so book your spot today.
