The Australasian Real Estate Conference (AREC) now in its 26th year, has carefully curated an outstanding and diverse combination of highly respected international speakers and Australia’s best real estate minds as they share their wisdom, industry knowledge and strategies for success.

The two-day conference designed for real estate sales and property management teams will return for the 12th year to the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre on Sunday 26th May and Monday 27th May.

Under the direction of AREC Founder, John McGrath, 30 speakers will impart their knowledge and life experiences at this iconic event that is designed to change the trajectory of real estate careers and business.

Mr McGrath said, “I’m proud of how this event has evolved over the years and strongly resonated with our industry. Over 90% of Australia’s top agents have attended AREC at least once and the majority return yearly.

"Equally about 800 agents cross the ditch from New Zealand, so it adds to the excitement and depth of the event.

“This year’s speaker line-up is a compelling combination of real estate experts and those who excite and inspire us everyday in their careers, success and thinking.

"The opening keynote, Ryan Serhant, is currently considered the world’s leading residential agent, and he will be in attendance on the AREC stage for the two days sharing his insights.

"Along with Australia’s own legendary agents, including Mat Steinwede and Gavin Rubinstein, this year’s AREC should not be missed, as you won’t get the depth of information and experience anywhere else in the world and it’s in our own backyard.”

McGrath adds, “To have an international star such as Ryan Reynolds be a speaker is a milestone in AREC’s history. His success as both an actor and entrepreneur are extraordinary and we greatly anticipate his words of wisdom in our conversation with him. It’s one that should not be missed in my view.”

Izzy Savva, the recently appointed new Head of Total Real Estate Training, the organisers of AREC said, “This is an exciting time for the evolution of this iconic mecca for industry training and development.

"We are incredibly focused on delivering a holistic approach to business: work, mind and health and the importance of how it impacts business growth. Our aim this year is to elevate AREC and make it into a more interactive experience for our delegates.

“Equally delegate feedback has been top of mind in planning AREC2024. Our keynote Ryan Serhant appeared via satellite last year and was our highest rated speaker. This year he will make the journey from NYC to the Gold Coast to open this year’s conference and will appear live on stage as he opens the program for both days.”

In his first conference keynote in Australia, Ryan Reynolds will take time out from filming his latest movie and appear via satellite in an interactive session “A Conversation with Ryan Reynolds”.

The closing keynote speaker on Day 2, is Australian businessmen and entrepreneur Mark Bouris, who dives into the economic trends and winning strategies in today’s real estate market.
