The Voice of the Agent Conference 2026
There are many voices in property. Portal voices. Supplier voices. Media voices. Consultant voices. Social media voices.
This conference is built around a different one. The Voice of the Agent.
For twelve months, The Voice of the Agent has travelled across the industry gathering evidence from the people closest to the customer, the transaction and the market.
The result is not another collection of opinions. It is a map. A map of where the industry is today and where it may be heading tomorrow.
On 20 November 2026, that map comes to Oxford.
Join the Fellowship of agents, leaders, innovators and industry thinkers as we examine the most important findings from the year's research and confront the opportunities and challenges ahead. Some will arrive seeking answers. Many will leave with better questions. Both are valuable.
Because in an industry full of noise, understanding remains a competitive advantage.
The industry's most important conversation.
The Voice of the Agent 2026: The Lord of the Data
A day of research, debate and fresh thinking at Oxford.
08:15–09:40 | Prologue
Registration, coffee and networking, followed by David Mintz’s welcome, Rowan the Poem and Martin Downes on Tolkien in the Office.
09:40–12:00 | Act I: The Fellowship of the Report
Simon Leadbetter opens with Concerning Agents, followed by the year’s key research findings with Christopher Watkin, Simon Gates and Victoria Lambden. The Editorial Board discusses what they mean for agents, Kristjan Byfield explores The Good, The Bad & The Artificial, and Clare Yates chairs a panel on working with the experts who help transactions happen.
12:00–12:40 | Act II: The Two Towers
An Oxford-style debate asks which will shape the property market more over the next five years: politics, housing and tax, or technology, AI and automation. Russell Quirk, Kate Faulkner and Michael Dent face Rajeev Nayyar, Mark Burgess and Victoria Lambden. Delegates vote over lunch.
12:40–13:40 | Lunch
13:40–17:00 | Act III: The Return of the Keynotes
Dave Officer brings a creative perspective on property; Street Group’s Oyin Bamgbose identifies five major trends; and Jo Bourne chairs a supplier panel. Mark Burgess tackles AI, YouGov’s Will Ullstein explores what Britain thinks, and System1’s Andrew Tindall closes with the power and need of advertising.
17:00–18:00 | Drinks reception
