2025 PacificWest Conference Lands In Vancouver This October

With the national housing crisis demanding sharper tools and deeper collaboration, the 2025 PacificWest Conference arrives at a critical moment.

On October 21 and 22, Western Canada’s premier real estate conference will take over the Vancouver Convention Centre East, bringing together the country’s realtors, developers, brokers, and builders for two full days of learning, dialogue, and connection.

Hosted by the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board and Greater Vancouver REALTORS®, the 2025 PacificWest Conference builds on last year’s strong momentum, which saw more than 1,200 professionals from across the country gather for dynamic programming, a buzzing trade show, and a vibrant social scene (which is quickly becoming legendary).

This year, with an even larger turnout anticipated, PacificWest Conference is scaling up — but staying true to its community-first roots.

All speakers at this year's event are Canadian, with representation stretching coast to coast, from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island. Programming will explore the most urgent issues facing the industry — from affordability to innovation — through a lens that’s local, relevant, and real.

Anchoring it all will be a keynote from Jake Karls, co-founder of Mid-Day Squares, who will take the stage with his partners Lezlie Karls Saltarelli and Nick Saltarelli to share an unvarnished take on brand building, business, and what it means to lead with boldness.

Before the conference's official start, attendees have the option to come in early for two marquee add-ons, taking place October 20. First up, the Managing Brokers Summit, presented by BCREA, will offer a full day of programming designed to address the evolving role of brokerage leadership. Then, that evening, the Pre-Conference Connect Social sets the tone for the days ahead with structured speed networking, drinks, bites, and music. (In short, it's a truly perfect conference kick-off.)

Once the conference begins, attendees will enjoy seminars, keynote presentations, and an expansive trade show — a vibrant marketplace of more than 90 vendors showcasing tech solutions, marketing tools, service providers, and sector partners.

Each day of the conference, doors open at 9am, with coffee served to encourage impromptu chats, dealmaking, and discovery. The trade show floor will be open from 10:30am to 5pm on Tuesday, October 21, and from 10am to 3pm on Wednesday, October 22.

And of course, on the evening of October 21, the Welcome Party is back.

Known for its high energy and creative themes — last year delivered a full "Havana Nights" experience, complete with tacos, margaritas, and music — this year’s party promises another unforgettable night, with details under wraps (for now).
