The Urban Developer’s Residential Developer Summit Series returns to Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne in May 2026.
Bringing together the leading developers and experts from across the greenfield, townhouse and apartment sectors, the summit explores the core themes shaping new development in the sector.
The one-day summit will include keynote presentations on supply/demand dynamics, planning policies, construction and delivery, investment and funding and exemplar case studies.
The conference will also bring together active developers for panel discussions exploring their perspectives on the opportunities and challenges within each of the three cities.
Each program will conclude with a unique In Conversation fireside chat with a leading developer, reflecting on their professional and personal journey in property.
