The 2027 Spark agenda will be published shortly, and session selection will be available from this point onwards. Once the agenda has been released, session selection will become a part of the event registration process and will be managed on a first-come, first-served basis. Any delegates who have registered prior to session selection becoming available will be notified via email and invited to book in their preferred sessions.

Smokeball event staff will be positioned outside breakout areas at the conference and will be scanning delegate lanyards to confirm that you have registered for the session. If you have not registered, you will be asked to wait until the beginning of the session and entry will be subject to availability. To ensure you are permitted to attend your preferred sessions, it is recommended that you register for them in advance to avoid missing out.

Delegates who attend Smokeball Spark will be eligible to claim up to 5 CPD points if they attend the full day. Please note that the Law Society is not responsible for accrediting CPD activities on behalf of providers.  If this particular educational activity extends your knowledge and skills in areas that are relevant to your practice needs or professional development, then you should claim one (1) "unit” for each hour of attendance. Smokeball is not responsible for keeping track of individuals' attendance and acquired CPD points, and is also not responsible for dictating which CPD category you should claim your points under.

The exemption to the above is for delegates attending from the state of Western Australia. Smokeball is an accredited CPD provider within the state of Western Australia. Provided you enter your practitioner ID at the point of registration, your attended sessions will be logged with the LPBWA post event.

Speaking sessions at Smokeball Spark will be recorded and the distribution of these sessions will subject to the permission of the presenter. Delegates will be provided with access to approved sessions on-demand following the conference for a limited time.
