Expanding to new horizons

Cebu, Philippines — 2026.

Following the success of our workshops across Australia and the Philippines, and with valuable input from our international WizeGrowth members, we're excited to bring our next Intensive Workshop to beautiful Cebu, Philippines.

To better support our growing international network, we've evolved our workshop format to include one Australian workshop each year, alongside a destination-style experience in the Philippines. Many firm owners have also expressed interest in connecting with their offshore teams in the Philippines, and Cebu is the perfect place to bring everyone together.

This one is going to be special.
