Bringing together real estate pedigree, tech-driven expertise, and seasoned stage presence, the pairing promises an energetic evening celebrating the brightest innovators and creators in the Australian proptech ecosystem.

His extensive background includes time at Proptech Labs, Deep Blue, CoreLogic and multiple former winners of the Proptech Awards.

Additionally, Paul brings a unique entertainment edge to the stage, having enjoyed a past life behind the decks as a professional DJ.

"I am incredibly excited to be co-hosting the Proptech Awards this year," said Findlay. "Proptech is all about pushing boundaries, scaling growth, and celebrating the forward-thinkers. To be on stage shining a light on the incredible talent and tech changing our industry, while channelling a bit of my old DJ energy to keep the crowd moving, is going to be an absolute blast."

Joining him on stage is Allie Thompson, a property management growth specialist with over a decade of fast-paced, hands-on real estate experience. In her day-to-day role at REA Group, Thompson supports property managers and agencies nationwide to unlock the full potential of digital platforms.
