In past years, our speakers have introduced us to subjects as diverse as Floating Cities, The Ring in Silicon Valley, The 4-Day Work Week, Building Within Planetary Limits, the AI Building Revolution, Machine Learning at Zaha Hadid – and so much more.

This year we are as keen as ever to look beyond the horizon to explore the big trends that are coming at us.

Three internationally acclaimed minds from overseas will join a range of exceptional New Zealand disruptors to take us on an unconventional journey from our present reality in property into a variety of exceptional futures.

Our core sessions

First we will welcome James Pearce from internationally renowned architectural design firm Populous to explore how cutting-edge technology and innovative design principles are revolutionising the entertainment spaces where we gather; showcasing some globally groundbreaking projects that are pushing boundaries in ways the human race had never imagined before.

Then we will examine the future of Auckland's mid-town: two perspectives on how to positively disrupt our city and take us forwards.

We will then look further ahead, examining how can – and need to be - even bolder and more ambitious about place and placemaking in Aotearoa…

… before buckling up for a mind-boggling journey hosted by internationally known creative leader, Emile Rademeyer, to explore why the Metaverse is now more relevant to you than ever before, redefining art, culture, commerce - and property - at unprecedented speed.

And that’s before we even start to talk about how we’re going to redefine the art of Q&A, and our truly disruptive Keynote speaker…
