Start Up Day
Tuesday, 27 October – 10:00 am to 5:00 pm
Are you a small but ambitious business looking to take things to the next level?

Our PropTech Startup Day is designed just for entrepreneurs like you—those eager to master the essentials of running, funding, scaling, and even exiting a business.This isn’t your typical workshop.

Set in a relaxed and interactive environment, you’ll have the freedom to interrupt with questions, share your own experiences, and dive deep into practical insights. Our short, punchy sessions cover every phase of the business journey—from pre-seed and pre-revenue to that all-important final handshake when it’s time for your next big move.

You’ll learn from some of the industry’s top veterans, including Simon Baker, Mike Plichta, Gonzalo del Pozo, and more. These experts know what it’s like to be in your shoes—and so do the entrepreneurs you’ll meet, tackling the same challenges.

And that’s not all—after a day full of actionable insights, wind down at our evening networking event to connect with other trailblazers before the main conference kicks off on Wednesday.

If you would like to upgrade your registration to attend this workshop, please email simon@onlinemarketplaces.com.

Delivered, Then Dropped: What Really Happens to Your Leads After They Reach the Agent

Wednesday, 28 October – 11:40 am to 12:20 pm
Your platform delivers the enquiry, but what happens next determines whether your advertiser counts it as a lead. Ian Preston found that 65% of portal leads arrive outside office hours, and around half never receive a response.
You did your job and delivered the lead, but you know the inevitable conversation about lead quality is just around the corner, particularly at renewal time. As the portal you can do something about this.
Matt Gayleard and Fabian Rymer bring experience from both sides. Fabian spent ten years portal-side at Rightmove, and, OnTheMarket, part of CoStar. iovox has spent decades helping agencies manage what happens after an enquiry lands.
In 40 minutes, they’ll share the patterns iovox sees, how AI agents use enquiry data to qualify leads on live calls, and practical real-world applications. Sign up below, and we’ll see you in Madrid!
