Themes of the conference have been chosen to reflect and support finance professionals working in local government with the knowledge and practical skills needed to support, inspire and enhance their career.

Speakers have been chosen to share the secrets to their success including leadership techniques, stress management and life balance tips and investment strategies. Conference speakers are represented from both the public sector and from private enterprise, providing industry perspective and working advice.

Participants can look forward to an entertaining conference dinner on the evening of 26 February as part of the conference, and accommodation at the conference venue can also be arranged for delegates.

Past Finance Professionals Conferences held by LGMA have proven to be greatly beneficial to all whom attended, with feedback comments including:

• “Great mix of humour combined with serious topics. Well done all round.”
• “As a CEO I don’t usually come to this conference, but have been pleasantly surprised how interesting the content was and how useful it was.”
• “Great mix of topics, great venue, well organised event, excellent presenters. Well done to all concerned with the organisation.”

The Finance Professionals Conference 2009 is certainly not one to miss, and numbers are limited so please register your interest with LGMA for further information. A full program and registration form for the conference will be available mid December 2008.
