First-ever national property management conference launches

Despite being critical to Australia’s property sector – with more than 2.2 million individual landlords relying on property managers – the field is often undervalued.

This year, REB’s Property Management Excellence (PMX) Conference launches to challenge this perception. It will provide a platform for industry leaders to share practical strategies, showcase innovation, and champion recognition of property management nationwide.

To be held in Sydney on Thursday, 27 November 2025, the one-day conference will reveal how top-performing agencies are quadrupling rent rolls, how BDMs are winning landlords in competitive markets, and how technology can enhance, not replace, the human side of service.

Hosted by one of the country’s leading real estate coaches and commentators, Tom Panos, the groundbreaking event features high-impact sessions including:

• The million dollar BDM playbook.
• Starting fast: The playbook of Australia’s fastest-growing agencies.
• The frontline of growth.
• Scaling smart: Building high-performance, sustainable teams.
• Turning point: How technology is redefining the future of property management.
• Breaking growth barriers: Why the next two years matter more than the last 20.
• The truth about agentic AI: Separating promise from payoff.

Panos will also deliver a major keynote on exceptional rent roll growth strategies as part of the jam-packed agenda.

Speakers include:

• Tom Panos, founder and director, Real Estate Gym
• Adam Franklin, marketing coach at Bluewire Media
• Alistair Shearer, general manager, LJ Hooker Hampton Park
• Rohith George, COO of Managed
• Tara Bradbury, principal leasing agent, Active Agents

With more to be announced!

The conference will conclude with the REB PMX Awards, offering long-overdue recognition to property management professionals. Submissions and nominations are now open via the awards website.
