Friday 15 October | Choose Your Adventure 
Start your conference experience with a choice of two bus tours. The Business Bus heads to Niagara for a behind-the-scenes look at what makes a successful Southland business tick. Discover fresh ideas and inspiration that could be worth planting in your own business.

Prefer a social adventure? The Party Bus heads through to Bluff Gin Distillery for a taste of local flavour, great company and a gin experience along the way.

The day continues with cocktails and conversations at our Welcome Function, where the Mayor of Invercargill will officially welcome delegates and share what makes the region worth paying attention to.

This is where the seeds get planted! Meet fellow investors, swap ideas, make new connections and raise a glass to the opportunities ahead.

Saturday 16 & Sunday 17 October | Grow Your Knowledge
The main conference programme brings together two days of speakers and learning sessions focused on property investment. Take the opportunity to gather knowledge, explore new ideas and connect with fellow investors who are on their own investment journeys.

Full details of the sessions, topics and speakers will be released closer to the conference.

Saturday Evening | Happy Days Gala Dinner
Round out the weekend with our Happy Days themed Gala Dinner at Transport World. Enjoy delicious food, great company and live entertainment from Highland Storm, a Celtic fusion band blending rock, pop and traditional Celtic melodies.

Dress Code: Happy Days! Rock ’n’ Roll, Retro & Ready to Party!

Think 1950s and ’60s retro: poodle skirts, leather jackets, swing dresses, slicked-back hair, rock ’n’ roll style and all the retro flair you can muster. Whether you go full Fonzie or channel your inner Pink Lady, the more fun, the better!
