What others say

I love coming every year. I've been to every one that we've had here in Brisbane. There's always great content, excellent speakers and I've really enjoyed it today.

Tracie Palmer - Mortgage Broker and Owner of Cornerstone Homeloans
Today's event has been amazing. It's firstly so great to be connecting in a room with people for the first time in over a couple of years and to come into the room and the format was just so different. And having to wear these headphones and listening to content, but at the same time, catching up with our lender friends, our broker friends and at the same time listening to content. You know, it's been really, really great. A very different concept.

Nicole Canon, Mortgage Broker, Founder/Director Pink Finance - Sydney delegate
Today's Better Business Summit has actually been my favourite conference to date. 19 years in the industry is just really dynamic. You can tune in, you can tune out. The silent disco theme has been amazing. And just lots of different interactive things on show here. It's been really good.   For someone coming to the next business summit, I would definitely suggest coming. It's a time to reflect on your business, and learn and level up. You get to speak to the speakers, so it's just really interesting and it'll open your mind a little bit   I would describe the event as extremely dynamic, very forward thinking, visionary and fun.

Liz Wilson, Broker, Wilson Financial - Sydney delegate
It's a really new, really good way of actually going around meeting the lenders and seeing the actual guest speakers the way you've done it.

Steve D’Costa, Lend Me - Perth Delegate
It's quite good coming to all the stands and talking to people and I've enjoyed the one about cyber crime. I would say attend. It's always good learning and you get to meet a lot of peers and you get to talk to all the BDMs at the stands. I think it's well worth coming.
