Learning, Connecting & Bringing More Value to Our Clients ๐ค
Last week I travelled to Sydney for the 2026 Connective Conference, spending a couple of days catching up with lenders, industry experts and fellow brokers from around Australia.
While conferences are a great chance to reconnect with people in the industry, they're also an opportunity to stay on top of what's happening in the economy, lending, technology and the ever-changing finance landscape. At GHFS, we never stop learning. The more we understand about lending, the economy and what's coming next, the better equipped we are to guide our clients through the decisions that matter most.
Some of the key topics included:
โญThe outlook for the Australian economy
โญHow AI is changing the way businesses work
โญEmerging trends affecting borrowers, homeowners and investors
โญBuilding stronger businesses and better client experiences
โญNew technology that can help us serve our clients more efficiently
One of the highlights was catching up with Louise Pascoe from Connective, who has been a fantastic supporter of our business over the years. Through Connective, we're able to access a panel of more than 70 lenders, giving us plenty of options when helping clients find the right solution for their circumstances.
All in all a busy couple of days in Sydney, plenty of good conversations, a few laughs, and most importantly, lots of ideas and insights to bring back to our clients here on the Far South Coast and beyond.
P.S. No, I didn't spend the whole conference at the cocktail function... although there may be photographic evidence suggesting otherwise!
