About this Event

Join us for a focused networking evening bringing together real estate professionals, construction leaders, startup founders, investors, and operators shaping the future of the built environment. This event is designed for people who want practical connections, business opportunities, and conversations that lead to deals.

Whether you work in development, construction, property, PropTech, or invest in real assets and infrastructure, this event puts decision-makers and innovators in the same room.

This event brings together property developers, investors, landlords, architects, agents, planners, brokers, designers, and real estate service providers for live pitches and quality networking.

The core of the event is open pitching—and everyone is invited to take the mic. Whether you're presenting a property project, raising finance, looking for joint ventures, or offering services to the sector, you’ll have 1 minute to pitch your deal, opportunity, or expertise.

To make things even better, you’ll be welcomed with a complimentary drink on arrival to start the conversations flowing.

  • Investors: Access deal flow, discover development opportunities, and connect with active players in the property space.
  • Service Providers: Offer your expertise in legal, finance, design, or construction to developers and investors.
  • Agents & Brokers: Share off-market opportunities and meet potential clients and collaborators.
