The 2025 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. Please also note that Smokeball is not an approved CPD provider in the state of Western Australia.
