July and August Events

Within the last two months, the Property Funds Association focused on delivering value to our members and industry colleagues, holding several insightful seminars and classes in both Melbourne and Sydney. In July, we held the first PFA Advisor Directory Seminar, covering the do's and don'ts of funds management in Legal, Administrative, Property Systems, Insurance and Accounting. Followed by the Advisor Directory Seminar, we introduced the PFA Master Class in August in both metropolitan cities. Joined by industry leaders, the Master Class explored the current state of the Property Market and the emerging trends in the Property Investment Markets. Over 90 industry colleagues joined us at the Ivy in Sydney for networking and an opportunity to build their contact book, adding value to their business. 

The Property Funds Association would like to thank our incredible sponsors and speakers for their tremendous efforts and making the events a successful outcome.

PFA Conference Highlights

Divergence and Disruption - the value dichotomy and emerging trends of Property

Held at the Hilton Cairns again, the PFA Conference 2016 created an excellent balance of networking, stimulating forums and social events.

From the GSA Golf...	…and Skyrail Rainforest Cableway
…to the Welcome Cocktail Party by the Hilton Poolside...	…to thought, and question, provoking plenary sessions...

The conference explored the Divergence of property, the value of dichotomy, in which capital market forces and fundamentals tell a different story regarding the value of property. We looked at Disruption, where emerging trends in technology have reshaped the nature of the workplace; consumption and distribution that are impacting the office, retail and industrial property sectors; and crowd sourced funding, which has impacted on the finance sector. The Conference would also not be complete without the White Night Themed Gala Dinner sponsored by One Investment Group and great networking opportunities.
