'INDUSTRY EXPERT'

Your Presentation

Presentation Length:

Aim for a presentation around 45 minutes long including questions.

Presentation PowerPoint Template:

We highly recommend that you use our Powerpoint template for ease on your side, of which you can add your branding and logo into the bottom right hand corner of the slides (in the 'slide master'). If you're unsure how to do this, please let us know and we'll be very happy to assist.

To download a copy of our presentation template, here is a link to a blank presentation deck that will easily slide into our master deck on the day.

If you have a prior presentation deck that you would prefer to utilise, then that's okay also, please just ensure that your slide size is set to "Widescreen" being the 16:9 ratio otherwise we will have problems with merging your content with our other presenters.

Recording of our Events:

Please note that we record all of our presentations and also share all presentation decks with our Annual Members with these made available through a members only page.

How much detail to put into the slides...

We find that many of our presenters obtain a great deal of referral business by presenting and so having content that justifies someone going back to review your presentation is usually beneficial to your business.

For this reason we suggest that you have enough detail to educate them on the topic, without going over the top on too much information. This way they will want to come to you when the time is right in order to engage in assisting them when the time is right.

Of course it may take several months after the original presentation for our members to be in the right part of the development cycle for their project to benefit from your material. At this point they may potentially be reviewing the slides without the benefit of having attended, or perhaps they don't recall the exact detail you were discussing so it is good to have enough detail to cater for the slides being read without the benefit of having seen you present live.

***MAJOR TIP FOR YOUR CONTENT***

Our audience is NOT very receptive to direct sales, and therefore we suggest that your presentation is educational in nature.

We find the best approach is to teach the audience about a topic within your specialty, then once you start to talk about your business at the end of your presentation it is more as a follow-on to the educational piece, and in-turn the audience sees you as a thought leader within the Industry and will contact you in relation to using your services. 

What to Expect At Our Meetups

We began our events originally in Brisbane in 2012 and have now grown to the largest Property networking group Australia wide! We've since branched out into holding events in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and also in Perth!

Depending on the location we have anywhere from 50 - 100 people attending each event at present, with this growing each meeting.

Our attendees are typically smaller mum & dad developers doing anything from smaller 2 lot subdivisions to 6 pack town houses typically, but we do have some larger guys doing upwards of 30 units and similar sized townhouse developments and even some larger land subdivisions.

Below is a video that gives an overview of what you can expect when attending.

Meeting Format

Our meetings typically go for 3 hours and consist of 3 distinct sections, an Industry Expert, a Real Deal & finally a Masterminding process.

Our Industry Experts are people that our members typically would need in their team, with them giving guidance and advise on the relevant topic of the month. In the past we have had Town Planners, Civil Engineers, Property Lawyers, Accountants, Architects, University Lecturers, Project Managers, Experienced Developers, Property Managers, Financial Planners, Valuers, Brisbane City Council, Surveyors, Commercial Lenders & more. These experts love helping those with a thirst for knowledge and an attitude to succeed and we have been blessed with the quality of these speakers who keep lining up wanting to present at our group.

The Real Deals allows our members to learn from projects that others have done within our group. They get to see warts and all what went right, what went wrong and the profit that was able to be achieved out of the deal.

We typically finish with a Mastermind process with each person able to seek assistance from the collective knowledge of the group in how to overcome any current obstacles. Sometimes their problem might be as simple as not knowing where to start, or how to learn the development process, whilst other times it might be as complex as a specific problem that they are having within their current deal. Either way, the group is there to help, with all of us moving forward as a result. 

Social Drinks Afterwards:

Once the meeting finishes we then kick on socially for drinks at the bar. There is no need to hang around for this if you have other things on, however it is always great fun and you are more than welcome to stay and join us if you are available.

We hold a casual 'Mingle With The Expert' session from 1:30pm, where attendees can come early and chat with you and ask questions.

Please arrive at 1:15pm so we can run through the meeting setup with you, show you how the AV equipment works and this will also allow you time to network and mingle.


Please bring along any business collateral you have, including business cards / flyers, a pull-up banner (if you have one), and any other branded freebies you'd like to give out.

Thank you again for your support!
