Back to Coming EventsWorrells 2010 National Conference
2010 will be the 19th year that Worrells holds a National Conference. This invitation-only event started with ten people getting away for a weekend to discuss changes in insolvency legislation and recent case law. It has grown substantially from that humble beginning to have 110 delegates.
We are again heading to warmer weather, after a successful 2009 conference on Hamilton Island. Over the course of three days we will have a number of papers given by industry professionals and plenty of time for general discussion and networking. We always welcome the delegates to this event, particularly those attending for the first time.
Details of this conference are provided below and will be updated regularly.
