/ ABOUT

This isn't just another industry conference. It's a day designed to answer the questions that matter most: What's Next?

The Sydney event for conveyancers and property professionals that will keep you ahead of the game. The conveyancing and property sectors will undoubtedly look back on 2026 as a year of seismic shifts. Uncertainty in global affairs, and our domestic economy, has our housing market on edge. We are also an industry undergoing game-changing regulatory reform.

Time for a breather before getting ourselves back up for 2027? On Tuesday, November 17, Australian Conveyancer – your companion, your independent voice – proudly presents an event that will bring clarity and prepare the industry for the next 12 months. What's Next? is an event like no other, providing you with the thought leadership and unique insights of people at the very top of their game.
