## 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

- Three concurrently running content streams, delegates build their own agenda
