Applications for the 2026 will open shortly.

​

​

The REd Talks are all about the future of the CRE industry, our future talent.

 

These talks are a prominent feature of the CoreNet Global Australia Chapter Annual Conference, where our Young Leaders get the opportunity to present their ideas in front of over 300 industry professionals. If you have a topic that you're passionate about, this is your chance to shape the​ future of the industry through a 7-minute TED-style talk.

​

The focus for 2026 is encapsulated by the theme 'The Value Shift'.

 

We're calling on speakers to inspire us with their own experiences and what the corporate real estate (CRE) profession could look like in the future through their eyes. Describe the transformations and their significant effects.​

​

Each chosen speaker will receive support from a mentor, ensuring their success on stage.

​

The Young Leaders will deliver their talks on 19 August 2026, at Ilumina Sydney during the CoreNet Global Australia Annual Conference.
 
It's important to note that you do not have to be a member to participate.
