REACH Australia and New Zealand

LIFT 2026 is where real estate doesn’t just discuss the future, it steps directly into it. 🚀

As major sponsor of LIFT 2026, REACH Australia and New Zealand is proud to support Australia’s most forward-thinking real estate and technology event, bringing together the leaders, tools, and ideas actively reshaping how the industry works today.

Across two dynamic days in Brisbane, professionals will move beyond theory and into application, with sessions focused on AI and automation, digital transformation, leadership, compliance, emerging technology, and practical strategies designed to be implemented immediately.

This is a hands-on environment where innovation is not just showcased, it is tested, experienced, and translated into real-world outcomes.

With global keynote speakers, interactive tech demonstrations, and workshops built around real industry challenges, LIFT is designed to give attendees clarity, capability, and a competitive edge in a rapidly evolving market.

If real estate is changing at speed, this is where you learn how to keep up and get ahead.

🤝 More connections don’t always lead to more opportunities.

One of the biggest misconceptions we see among founders is that successful networking is about meeting as many people as possible. In reality, the strongest opportunities often come from understanding the right problem, identifying the right stakeholder, and creating a clear path to action.

Across the REACH Australia and New Zealand network, some of the most valuable conversations begin with a simple question:

“What adoption barrier are you seeing most often, and who do you trust to solve it?”

That small shift changes the conversation from introductions to insight.

Rather than focusing on how many business cards were exchanged or LinkedIn connections were made, focus on uncovering a genuine challenge, understanding who is affected by it, and identifying the people who can help move a solution forward.

We've consistently found that one meaningful conversation with a clear next step creates far more momentum than dozens of surface-level introductions.

The founders who stand out aren't always the loudest in the room. They're the ones who can connect a problem, a solution, and the right people to make progress happen.

A defining moment for global real estate innovation. 🌎🚀

Second Century Ventures, the venture arm of the National Association of REALTORS®, has formed a landmark strategic alliance with the CILA Confederación Inmobiliaria Latinoamericana, bringing together the world’s most active real estate technology investor and Latin America’s leading real estate organisation across 19 countries.

This is more than a partnership. It is a bridge between global innovation and one of the fastest-moving real estate regions in the world.

Together, SCV and CILA will accelerate PropTech adoption, unlock new pathways for collaboration, and connect founders, investors, and real estate leaders across borders. The focus is clear: move ideas faster, scale innovation further, and turn global insight into local impact.

For REACH Australia and New Zealand, this marks another strong signal of how quickly the global PropTech ecosystem is converging. What was once fragmented across regions is now becoming one connected network of innovation, knowledge, and opportunity.

The alliance will also drive practical initiatives, including global best practice sharing, education and industry programs, REACH portfolio connectivity, and new frameworks to better understand and accelerate technology readiness across diverse markets.

With representation across 19 countries, CILA brings unmatched regional scale and influence. Combined with SCV’s global investment engine, this partnership signals something bigger: Latin America is not catching up — it is actively shaping the future of real estate innovation.

For most founders, opportunities like this don't get missed because they aren't good enough. They get missed because there's always one more thing to finish, one more customer call to take, one more reason to wait until tomorrow.

Tomorrow, applications close.

Your most active users might not be your most valuable users.

It's a common mistake for growing technology companies: seeing strong engagement numbers and assuming growth is heading in the right direction. But activity alone doesn't always translate into revenue.

At REACH Australia and New Zealand, one of the most important lessons for scaling companies is understanding the difference between user behaviour and business outcomes. A customer segment might be logging in regularly, engaging with features and showing strong retention—yet contributing very little to conversions, bookings or commercial growth.

That's why it's important to look beyond surface-level metrics and ask deeper questions:

📊 Are your most engaged users becoming paying customers?
📊 Which customer segments are driving the greatest business impact?
📊 Does your revenue growth align with the behaviour you're investing in?

When engagement, conversion and revenue are measured together, a much clearer picture emerges. What appears to be growth on one dashboard can look very different when connected to actual business results. The strongest companies don't just measure activity—they measure outcomes.
