Calling all EAs and PAs – we’ve found the perfect conference for you.

Posted on 17 October, 2024

If you’re an EA or PA wanting to take your career to the next level, you won’t want to miss this professional development event from 13 to 15 November at one of Australia’s most scenic locations.

If you’re an EA or PA, you might be frustrated at the lack of professional development opportunities designed specifically for your chosen career. But what if there was a conference developed by experienced senior Executive Assistants who understand how to thrive, survive and create career pathways – because they’ve been there.

Capital EA’s Annual EA/PA 2024 Conference is exactly that. Now in its fifth year, the event has become known as a must-attend experience for Executive and Personal Assistants across the country. Did we mention that it’s being held at the stunning Oaks Ranch in Mossy Point?

According to Ursula Kohler, Founder of Capital EA, the event represents a unique opportunity to connect, learn, and grow in your role.

“We’re thrilled to bring together some of the brightest minds in the industry to share their insights and knowledge”, she says.

“Whether you’re looking to deepen your strategic thinking, master time management, or enhance your executive support skills, the conference will deliver valuable insights and tools for success.”

Wrapping in three days of learning, networking, and empowerment, and the chance to take your career to the next level, this year’s conference program features expert speakers, hands-on workshops, and tailored sessions to address the evolving needs of today’s administrative professionals.

“It’s all about building connections, learning from one another, and driving change within our professions,” says Ursula.

With a focus on crafting relevant and practical sessions, here’s just a taste of what you can expect.

Keynote speaker Danielle Colley will discuss how change and setbacks can be your greatest strength, and share tools and strategies so attendees can walk away with higher self-esteem and greater resilience.

With a 40-year career in the public service, including over a decade in the Senior Executive Service (SES), Louise McDonough will have an open discussion with Ursula about what it takes to be an outstanding EA from an SES perspective and will share the key strengths the SES looks for in a great EA.

In mastering the inner game, Nicole Toohey will focus on strengthening the capacity to better adapt in your everyday life, and emphasise the importance of self-care and nurturing relationships. She’ll guide attendees through developing the tools to transform the way you live and work in pursuit of the perfect work-life balance!

Starting her career as an EA and now working in wealth management, special guest Nicole Callen will discuss how Trajectory can look different in many ways.  Nicole will share her path to where she is now in a candid discussion with Ursula on finding your true north.

“This conference will change you,” says Ursula.

“Testimonials from previous years highlight how executives have seen transformative changes in their EAs, noting improved efficiency, leadership, and confidence. And, for EAs themselves, it’s a chance  to stop, look and reflect on where they want to go in their career.”

With less than a month until the conference, you’d best block out 13-15 November in your diary now. And if you need any more encouragement, Capital EA is offering a 10% discount for two or more bookings made together, making it the perfect opportunity to attend with a colleague or team and save on registration.
