City Shapers | Together Stronger

Specifically curated for property professionals, The Property Conference is a gathering of influential leaders, inspirational innovators, economic experts and the best of local and central government, packed in alongside the property industry’s movers and shakers.

In 2021 we are embracing partnerships with the theme City Shapers | Together Stronger; an ode to the power of collective expertise, insight and industry alignment.

If we are going to “shape cities where communities thrive”, we need to work together as one cohesive unit across the property industry, government and stakeholders.

If we are going to create change, we must be a trusted advisor, supporting the ideas that have merit and suggesting solutions where initiatives need more consideration. The Property Conference aims to showcase the best ideas, innovations and change-makers who will lead our industry, and our country, into the next decade.

As the CEO of Callaghan Innovation (New Zealand’s Government-backed innovation agency), Vic Crone knows first-hand how innovation can change the trajectory of individual businesses AND of New Zealand. While forestry, dairy and tourism have been stalwart industries in the past, it’s time to diversify and future-proof our economy and raise living standards for all – to do this, Vic says, we must turn ourselves into a hub for high-value, knowledge intensive businesses. Her vision for innovation in NZ is to encourage businesses to invest in research and development, build businesses’ confidence, and beef up the commercialisation of ideas to take overseas.
