Leading with Impact
Kindly hosted by Charter Hall at Wesley Place, Friends of the Foundation is an intimate gathering of senior leaders from Victoria’s property and construction industry, providing an opportunity to connect, reflect and celebrate the impact we can achieve when we work together.
2026 marks 30 years of the Property Industry Foundation bringing the property and construction industry together to create meaningful change for young people experiencing homelessness. As we celebrate this milestone, we’ll reflect on the impact we’ve achieved together, including 300 bedrooms delivered to support young people experiencing or at risk of homelessness, and look ahead to our goal of bringing another 300 bedrooms to life by 2030.
Under this year’s theme, Leading with Impact, we will explore what it means to lead with purpose and how our industry can use its influence, expertise and resources to create meaningful and lasting social change.
Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with some of Australia’s most respected industry leaders, exploring leadership, market insights, investing with impact, housing affordability, youth homelessness and the role our industry can play in creating positive social outcomes.
The evening will commence with drinks and canapés, providing an opportunity to connect with fellow industry leaders, before moving into a moderated panel discussion and audience Q&A.
Date: Wednesday 18 November 2026
Time: 5:00pm – 7:00pm
Location: Wesley Place Business Hub, 130 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne
