In 2018 delegates can plan their own experience by choosing between two presentation streams.
The payroll function is always a balancing act between gaining operational efficiency and protecting downside compliance risk. So that's why the theme of the 2018 Australian Payroll Association's conference is:

It's a great opportunity to network and gain valuable connections with your peers and industry colleagues. With over 500 payroll professionals attending our conference in 2017, this event has become an essential part of the payroll calendar.
