Editor's Thoughts.
It’s been another week jam-packed full of news and views. The Finance Minister’s MTBPS, September’s inflation numbers coming in at 4.5% (slightly up from August), and of course the usual content stream of what’s going on in investments, retirement funds, medical aids and personal financial planning.
We try to make life a little easier for you – by surfacing the conversations that matter to you personally and the valuable work you do.
Our EBnet Evolutionaries Conference next week takes that one step further. Everyone in the industry is talking about integrated benefits. We’ve heard you and bring you Benefits Activated. Speaker’s content is bundled into life stages – on current topics that we’ve identified and invited specific thought leaders to talk to. This will inform your decisions, your advice and your business model. Plus an exhibitors hall where you can connect with your community. All online and open 24/7 for the whole week, making sure you'll have time in your schedule to pop in.
If you do one thing before sliding into the weekend, make sure it’s to register.
I'll be seeing you online at 9am on Monday, for our first live event for the week which is a discussion with the OPFA and the FAIS Ombud.
