The ASFA Conference is Australia's flagship gathering for the superannuation industry, bringing together over 1,000 senior leaders across funds and service providers to focus on delivering for members in a changing world. Ashling is there for the conversation that happens after the keynotes, helping funds turn AI and automation ambition into programs that actually run in production, with a business case behind every build.
The ASFA Conference is the superannuation sector's flagship annual event, bringing funds and service providers together for three days of professional development, peer learning, and practical insight across investment, insurance, policy, technology and AI, retirement solutions, business transformation, and member engagement. Ashling is an intelligent automation and agentic AI consulting firm, and we're at the conference to help funds close the gap between what's discussed onstage and what's operational, building AI and automation programs that deliver measurable member outcomes.
- Over 1,000 senior leaders and professionals from across the superannuation industry
- Three days of masterclasses, keynotes, and specialised streams focused on delivering for members in a changing world
- 15+ industry-leading speakers, drawing on both Australian and global expertise
- The Super Expo, bringing attendees, innovators, and decision-makers together in one place
Stop by between sessions for a straight conversation about where AI and automation actually fit in your fund's operations, and walk away with a clear next step.
Here's what you can expect to talk to us about:
Agentic AI, applied to member outcomes
As funds face rising member expectations and growing regulatory demands, the value has moved past pilots and proofs of concept. We help you see what's production-ready today for retirement processing, claims, and member service versus what only works in a demo.
From point solutions to a scalable program
Most funds don't lack automation ideas, they lack a path from a single use case to a program that compounds across the business. We diagnose what's stalling adoption and build the structure to scale it.
Built for a highly regulated sector
We design automation and AI programs with the controls, monitoring, and human oversight that superannuation's regulatory environment requires, so transformation doesn't come at the cost of compliance.
Business case first, senior teams throughout
We build the case for value before we build anything else. You'll meet the practitioners who've run these programs end to end, not a booth of brochures.
