About the Event
The people shaping Australia’s property sector, together in one room
The Urban Developer’s Long Lunch series returns to Sydney this November, bringing together more than 500 of the city’s leading developers, investors and decision-makers for an afternoon of insights, networking and celebration.
Presented by ARC Energy and Opticomm, the Sydney Long Lunch will feature a diverse panel of industry leaders: Jamie Durie (Durie Design), Jennifer Macquarie (Fountaindale Group) and Michael Romano (Freecity).
Together, they will deliver a candid discussion on the opportunities and challenges shaping Sydney’s market — from residential and mixed-use development to the role of design, placemaking and lifestyle-led projects in driving the city’s future.
Hosted at the iconic Hyatt Regency Sydney, this event is firmly established as the must-attend end-of-year gathering for the city’s property sector.
