Key speakers enthralled the attendees; including the likes of Kevin Wilson and members of our esteemed tech team - Peter Kelly and Mark Teale (who presented on topical points from productivity and performance to compliance and insurance). [PDW2017](https://pdw17.cpal.com.au/) aims to inspire support staff and allow their ideas to be transformed into tangible and strategic plans for their business. This year we were able to deliver the very best of our services in a vibrant and friendly environment - attendees particularly enjoyed the invaluable opportunity to connect, collaborate, and grow with their professional peers. Innovus Advice Managing Director, Paul Wright, has been sending staff to the workshop since its conception two years ago; “It is not just the conference content, but also the peer-sharing aspect which makes this event so valuable,” he said. We were humbled to receive very positive feedback following this year’s workshop from attendees.
