We’re heading to Melbourne!

Proptech Australia’s 2025 Proptech Forum – hosted in Melbourne for the first time – has been hailed as a success, exceeding expectations for attendance and creating deep engagement on its theme,  "Navigating an AI-Enabled Future."

We couldn't have asked for a better launch! Our very first Pitch in the Pub event set a sensational tone for the entire Proptech Forum. It was a great night of proptech innovation, networking, and cold drinks.

Proptech Australia has confirmed the line up for the three “Satellite Events” that have been planned for November 13 – the eve of the annual Proptech Forum that is to be held at the Real Estate Institute of Victoria in Melbourne. All three events have been planned for the afternoon of November 13 and will be held in three separate locations. Individuals may attend only one event.

Proptech Australia is inviting startups and pre-startups to test their pitching skills at a “Pitch in the Pub” event on the sidelines of the upcoming Proptech Forum.

Keynote speakers have been announced for Proptech Australia’s annual Proptech Forum, to be held in Melbourne on November 14, sponsored by Domain.
