The 2025 Living Sectors Summit was our strongest yet. Two days. 120+ speakers. Record attendance. And a senior audience spanning BTR, PBSA, co-living, land lease, retirement living, community housing and social & affordable housing. The energy in the room made one thing pretty clear: the living sectors aren’t just maturing, they’re accelerating. If you couldn’t make it, or you just want a clear snapshot of what actually landed with the market, we’ve pulled everything together in our 2025 Post-Event Report. It covers the audience breakdown, industry feedback and the themes investors, operators and policymakers kept returning to.

Whether you’re planning to attend, bring your team, exhibit or partner with us, now’s a good time to put 2026 on your radar.

An incredible two days. The 2025 Living Sectors Summit brought together Australia's leading developers, operators, investors, policymakers and partners for conversations that genuinely moved the market forward. The depth of insight, the candour in the room, and the scale of participation all reinforced one thing: this Summit has become the national meeting place for Australia’s living sectors. A huge thank you to every speaker who brought their expertise to the stage, and to our partners whose support makes a platform like this possible. The energy, collaboration and ambition across both days set a new benchmark for the industry and for us.  🎥 We’ve pulled together a highlights reel capturing some of the moments, ideas and connections that defined the 2025 Summit. And now, we look ahead... In 2026, the Living Sectors Summit enters a new chapter as we move to ICC Sydney and significantly expand the scale of the event. A larger venue, a major new exhibition floor, an expanded two-day conference program, more networking, and a broader audience across every corner of the living ecosystem. Our aim is simple: create the biggest and most impactful platform in the region for BTR, co-living, PBSA, land lease, retirement, and community housing and an even stronger stage for partners, speakers and market leaders to shape what comes next.

What a first day at the Living Sectors Summit! The conversations were sharp, the rooms were full. From global capital insights to the future of BTR, student and seniors living, landlease and social & afforadble housing - Day 1 certainly delivered. We’ve pulled together a quick highlights video and a few moments from across the day. Take a look at the event images here: https://lnkd.in/g4t2Ww9K We’ll see you back here tomorrow for Day 2. #LivingSectorsSummit #BuildToRent #StudentHousing #LandLease #RetirementLiving #AffordableHousing #LivingSectorsSummit2025 #LSS25

The Living Sectors Summit kicked off this morning, and the first four sessions set the pace fast. Stuart Crow opened with a sharp reality check on how Australia stacks up globally. What’s working, what isn’t, and why the world’s capital doesn’t always land where we expect it to. David Woodward pulled everyone into the operator’s world, reminding us that real value is built in the day-to-day. A lot of heads were nodding. The opening panel (featuring Anouk Darling, Michele Adair, James Greener, Keith Lucas, ARA, AIA, LEED AP, Christian Grahame) looked ahead 5–10 years and painted a pretty clear picture of what’s coming for BTR, student and seniors living - shifting demographics, rising expectations, and a whole lot of change. And the last session of the morning, a panel led by SUPA: Smart Urban Properties Australia (featuring Geoff Horth, Jennie Fojtik, Henry Liddell, Sarah Boyle) got into the nuts and bolts of future-proofing assets, from digital infrastructure to smart systems to precinct-scale operations. A big start to the day and plenty more to come! #LivingSectorsSummit2025 #LSS25
