An evening of real talk, bold leadership, and inspiration.

Get ready for an unforgettable evening with some of the most influential women in the property sector. The 2025 Women in Property Power Panel brings together three trailblazing CEOs for a conversation that promises insight, inspiration, and authenticity.

Join us as moderator Leonie Freeman, CEO of Property Council New Zealand, leads a powerful kōrero with:

• Amelia Linzey, Group Chief Executive, Beca

• Sarah Kay, CEO, Woods Bagot

• Lisa Davis, CEO, Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei Whai Rawa

Together, they’ll share the stories behind their success — from the major projects that shaped them, to the personal challenges and triumphs that made them. Expect candid reflections on leadership, transformation, and what it means to lead with purpose in today’s world.

🗣️ Come for the panel, stay for the connections.

After the discussion, stick around to enjoy refreshments and connect with your peers — all are welcome (yes, that includes the blokes!).
