ICB Summit 2027 and Luca Awards
ICB Summit 2027 and Luca Awards is expected in October 2027 in Melbourne, Victoria; the organiser has not published dates, with tickets from AUD 572 incl. GST.
Two-day national bookkeeping summit with keynotes, panels and workshops, closing with the Luca Awards dinner.
Why it matters
The ICB Summit is the annual national conference of the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers, Australia's bookkeeping certifying body, first run as an Australian edition in Brisbane in 2024 and paired each year with the LUCA Awards gala dinner. The 2026 Adelaide edition offers up to 11 CPE hours with member early-bird tickets at AUD 572 incl. GST. It is the only Australian bookkeeping conference run by a certifying institute, and the LUCA Awards is its industry recognition centrepiece.
Who attends
ICB member bookkeepers and BAS agents, with non-member practitioners welcome at a higher ticket price, plus the software partners and suppliers who sponsor the summit and the LUCA Awards.
Programme
- Three concurrently running content streams, delegates build their own agenda
- Technical and compliance updates (the Roadshow agenda forms the programme foundation)
- Technology, AI and workflow
- BYOD hands-on interactive workshops
- Industry partner sessions and panel discussions
- Keynotes and networking

GST, with higher post-early-bird tiers published on the organiser page. The LUCA Awards gala dinner is ticketed separately at AUD 245 incl. GST. No 2027 prices are published.
