Business Leaders Forum 2026

Join us for the Infocus Business Leaders Forum

It is our pleasure to extend a formal invitation for you to join us for the Infocus Business Leaders Forum 2026, a private, invitation only forum created for the owners and principles of leading advice businesses within the Infocus community. 

This year, the event will return to the beautiful Noosa Heads at Peppers Noosa Resort & Villas and take place from Monday 10th Aug – Thursday 13th August. 

The Business Leaders Forum brings together established business leaders to join members of the Infocus Executive and Partnerships team, and senior leaders from across the organisation. Attendance is strictly by invitation only to ensure meaningful discussion, collaboration, and connection. 

The Business Leaders forum will conclude with an iconic sunset cruise along the Noosa River, where we will welcome our Business Growth Forum delegates to provide a national networking opportunity. We invite you to explore agenda themes, registration and accommodation information below. 

We look forward seeing you soon.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO COVER

How to scale your advice business

Learn how to move beyond founder‑dependent growth and build a business with the structure, people and systems required to scale sustainably. We’ll focus on the operating model shifts that allow growth without increasing complexity or risk.

How to uplift your profitability

Understand the real drivers of profit in advice businesses, from cost‑to‑serve and pricing to productivity and margin discipline. You’ll identify where profit is leaking today — and the practical changes that create stronger, more resilient returns.

How to increase your operational efficiencies

Explore proven ways to streamline workflows, remove friction and create capacity across your business. The focus is on efficiency that supports growth — not shortcuts that compromise quality, compliance or client experience.

An update on Infocus’ growth plans

Hear directly from the team on Infocus’ strategic priorities and ambitious growth plans. Gain clarity on how these plans are designed to support member firms and create long‑term value across the network.

The advice landscape

Get a clear, grounded view of the key market, regulatory and industry forces shaping the advice landscape. We’ll cut through the noise to focus on what actually matters for decision‑making over the next 12–36 months.

Solving real world problems

This forum is built around real challenges faced by advice businesses today — not theory or generic best practice. Through practical discussion and shared experience, you’ll leave with ideas you can apply immediately in your own business.

EXPERIENCE NOOSA

Join us on a sunset cruise

Our first evening will see us meet for casual welcome drinks by the fire at Pepper’s Terrace bar, the perfect opportunity to catch up ahead of our conferencing sessions.

Our second evening will see us venture down to Hastings Street for an opportunity to celebrate a successful year. We will enjoy a decadent, formal three course dinner at Locale Noosa.

We couldn’t ask you to travel to Noosa without making the most of the beautiful surroundings. We’re delighted to end the Business Leaders Forum in style with exclusive hire of the Catalina Noosa, a luxurious dual level catamaran that will take us on a leisurely cruise of the Noosa river. Experience a famous winter Noosa sunset, joined by the Business Growth Forum delegates, and enjoy delicious food, drinks and great company.
