What to expect at CMSF 2021?

CMSF will provide a networking and idea-sharing opportunity for directors and fund staff across the profit-to-member sector, who have been working in relative isolation all year. A stellar line-up of local and international speakers will provide fresh insights, tools and inspiration across the key areas of member engagement, policy, investment and operations, such as:

• Lessons learnt from COVID
• Biden’s impact on the geopolitical landscape
• The potential impact of the federal budget super measures
• How COVID changed member engagement and marketing
• Where ESG is heading?
• Corporate leadership when government’s fail
• The rise of venture capital
• Super’s role in the post-COVID economic recovery
