The REIQ's sought-after Property Insider returns in 2026.

This is an essential event for Queensland real estate professionals who want to stay informed, inspired, and future-ready.

Hear from The Australian Financial Review Economics Editor John Kehoe, who will be discussing Australia's economic growth and inflation challenge, the outlook for interest rates and the impact of the Albanese government's tax changes to negative gearing, capital gains and trusts.

Hosted at the beautiful Calile Hotel, with an exquisite lunch included, this is your opportunity to connect with industry peers while gaining valuable insights into Queensland’s property market.
