R Real Estate Innovation Summit 2027

REB Innovation Summit

The AI baseline has shifted.

Are you still competing with last year's playbook? If you're writing listing copy and social posts with basic prompts, you're already falling behind. This is the day you catch up and pull ahead.

The race is on

The race to master the next phase of AI execution is already running to win more listings, build unforgettable client experiences, and scale without soaring overheads.

The REB Innovation Summit 2027 skips the introductory conversations. No theory for theory's sake. We focus on what you need to do right now to stay relevant.

Across one day, our speakers arm you with practical strategies that represent the gold standard in innovation today — frameworks you can deploy the very next morning.

What you'll walk out knowing

4 strategies.
4 operators who've done it.

Each session targets a specific lever in your business led by someone deploying it at the gold standard right now.

01

Stop relying on basic chatbots

Pete Williams · Deloitte

Pete will challenge your reliance on off-the-shelf LLMs, exposing the self-sabotaging habits holding most agents back, and showing you how to move past basic text generation into sophisticated frameworks that drastically improve client outcomes.

02

Start being discovered in AI search

Russell Easther · Digital Brief

Russell unpacks how large language models index and surface businesses and exactly what you must do to remain visible, trusted and chosen when buyers ask an AI, not a search bar.

03

Create clients who refer and return

Amanda Stevens · Consumer Behaviour Strategist

Amanda reveals why customer experience is becoming the ultimate differentiator in real estate how leading agents build trust, loyalty and advocacy in a market where consumers have more choice and higher expectations than ever.

04

Audit and optimise your operations

Seth Watts · Prepared

Seth shows you how to scale AI interactions across your agency. Not high-level theory – a magnifying glass on the systems and processes that reveal where to automate, where to spend, and exactly where the human touch is still essential.
