Weekend Intensive 2025

Friday 24 – Sunday 26 October 2025 | Zinc at Fed Square, Melbourne

The DevelopHer Weekend Intensive is back—bigger, bolder, and more future-focused than ever.

This is three days designed exclusively for ambitious women in property development.
Three days of clarity. Strategy. Profit.

Whether you’re stepping into your very first project or scaling to multiple deals, this is your moment to cut through the noise, simplify your systems, and focus on what actually works.

Why this

Weekend Matters

Property development is full of moving parts—finance, feasibilities, design choices, timelines, trades, and sales strategies. It’s easy to get lost in the detail and miss the bigger picture.

At our DevelopHers Weekend Intensive, we bring it all together.

  • The latest economic and design trends you need to stay ahead.

  • Proven systems and strategies to streamline your projects.

  • Hands-on workshops where you’ll apply the learning to your own development journey.

You’ll walk away with practical steps to make your next move with confidence—plus the clarity to know exactly where you’re headed.
