Lender Resources Site

After five years of hosting one national event, we’re back on the road and bringing the Connective Conference to a town near our brokers. In 2025, we're returning to our state-based format, making it even easier for local brokers and lenders to connect, learn, and grow together.

We are looking forward to having you join us as we hit the road!  

Your 2025 sponsorship entitlements have been shared directly with your preferred contacts. If you have any questions, please contact sponsorships@connective.com.au.
