(And let\u2019s face it, photos of those sessions tend to be pretty dull!)<\/p>\n<p>Synchron Director, Don Trapnell said the \u2018work hard\/play hard\u2019 approach was intentional and created cohesion among advisers who came from across the country, many meeting each other for the first time on arrival.<\/p>\n<p>He said the combination of early starts (including Zumba exercises), late finishes (over a beverage and a song), group learning sessions and outdoor activities creates long term professional relationships but also provides a balance between work and what happens after work.<\/p>\n<p>This different approach has created two small hurdles for Trapnell and his Synchron team. The first is finding new ways to challenge attendees and the second is deciding who makes the cut each year. With only 65 seats available interest from advisers is high, proving that the recipe struck over the past decade ago still produces the goods for Synchron today.<\/p>\n<p><i>Riskinfo senior journalist, Jason Spits recently attended the most recent Next Gen gathering in Alice Springs as a guest of Synchron<\/i>.<\/p>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">if (typeof(addthis_share) == \"undefined\"){ addthis_share = {\"passthrough\":{\"twitter\":{\"via\":\"riskinfonews\"}}};}\n\nvar addthis_config = {\"data_track_clickback\":false,\"data_track_addressbar\":true,\"data_track_textcopy\":true,\"ui_atversion\":\"300\"};\nvar addthis_product = 'wpp-3.5.9';\n<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/s7.addthis.com\/js\/300\/addthis_widget.js#pubid=ra-53a3668b19172d69\"><\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Synchron\u2019s annual NextGen conference is described as being unlike any other in the advice sector and those who have attended tend to agree with that description&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":205,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-64","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-community-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/magazine.riskinfo.com.au\/28\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/magazine.riskinfo.com.au\/28\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/magazine.riskinfo.com.au\/28\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/magazine.riskinfo.com.au\/28\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/magazine.riskinfo.com.au\/28\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/magazine.riskinfo.com.au\/28\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/magazine.riskinfo.com.au\/28\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/205"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/magazine.riskinfo.com.au\/28\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/magazine.riskinfo.com.au\/28\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/magazine.riskinfo.com.au\/28\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
