Craig James, Chief Economist Commsec and Margaret McKerchar FCPA, NSW Division President CPA Australia
Day 2 at CPA Congress in NSW is drawing to close after a day when hundreds of finance professionals have heard from top speakers from across the globe at Darling Harbour Convention Centre.
Craig James caught everyone’s attention early in the morning by saying business professionals should ask “so what”? He suggests when confronted with any information such as economic conditions it’s important to consider how that relates to your business.

Today’s business lunch brought a few laughs with three sporting personalities Geoff Huegill, Matthew Hayden and Andrew Gaze presenting a panel discussion on leadership. Although, conversation at one stage turned to Andrew Gaze’s talents on the dancefloor in the recent “Dancing with the Stars” series. All three personalities shared stories of success and it was clear that each have great passion and great support.
Hundreds turned out to hear the free community session for small business and NASA’s Risk Systems Manager, Dan Mulligan.
Tomorrow, day 3, will once again give delegates key insights into successful business practices and provide inspiration. Innovation will be highlighted by Michael Traill and Brennon Dowrick will share his story of beating adveristy after suffering injuries that held back his olympic career.
