20 Big Ideas for 2022 I Wednesday 9 March 2022

Whilst the pandemic is not over, with vaccines rolled out, borders re-opening and an Olympic Games to plan for, there is plenty to be optimistic about in Brisbane. The year ahead will continue to refine and shape this new world and Brisbane will no doubt be stronger and better. But what will be the ideas that will emerge and help define 2022 and our property sector over the coming decade?

This is our annual outlook event where we will bring together a diverse panel of four speakers who will each present their 5 Big Ideas for the next decade.

This event promises to be not only eye-opening, but also entertaining and thought provoking. What could happen across Brisbane over the next decade? The possibilities are endless!

Join Property Leaders Brisbane, Dexus and Ethos Urban while we speculate what the future holds for Brisbane and its property industry!
