AUSTRALIA’S LONGEST RUNNING PAYROLL CONFERENCE

Our premier event each year is the TAPS Payroll Conference, an annual conference for payroll professionals. This year we are holding our national TAPS Payroll Conference at the Hilton Sydney.

With so many people working from home, we know that bringing the payroll community together creates friendships and connections that are hard to replicate online. This is why TAPS works so hard to create a fun and rich learning environment. We are excited to see everyone in person and we can’t wait to welcome payroll community to the conference.

The exhibition booths are an important part of the conference, with the exhibition area designed to ensure maximum exposure, allowing delegates and exhibitors to interact. The conference agenda will include two streams of concurrent sessions and will have a minimum of five hours in the agenda for breaks held in the exhibiton area over 2 days.
