The Ultimate Alpine Networking Experience for the UK Property Industry
Few events in the property industry combine business development, networking and lifestyle quite like PropSki 2027. Returning in January 2027, the flagship event from PropEvents is set to welcome more than 650 property professionals to the world-renowned Austrian resort of Kitzbühel for a week of skiing, networking and industry collaboration.
Taking place from 24–31 January 2027, with both four-night and seven-night attendance options available, PropSki continues to evolve as one of the most distinctive and highly anticipated events in the UK property calendar. Following the sold-out success of previous editions, the event moves from Val Thorens in France to the legendary slopes of Austria, bringing a fresh alpine setting to its unique combination of business and leisure.
Designed exclusively for professionals across the UK property sector, PropSki offers a relaxed and informal environment where relationships are built naturally — on the slopes, over dinner and during a packed programme of social and industry-focused activities.
A New Chapter in Kitzbühel
The move to Kitzbühel marks an exciting new era for PropSki. Widely regarded as one of Europe’s most prestigious ski destinations, the Austrian resort is known for its charming alpine atmosphere, exceptional skiing and strong hospitality culture.
Kitzbühel offers:
- Extensive and varied ski terrain
- A traditional alpine town centre
- High-quality hotels and restaurants
- Excellent accessibility from major European transport hubs
- A vibrant après-ski scene ideal for networking
Its combination of luxury, tradition and sporting reputation makes it an ideal location for an event that balances professional interaction with unforgettable experiences.
An Event Built Around the Property Industry
PropSki has established itself as far more than a standard corporate ski trip. Over the last decade, the event has developed into a major networking platform for the UK property sector.
Attendees span every level of the industry, including:
- Developers and investors
- Surveyors and consultants
- Asset managers and agency professionals
- Lawyers, lenders and advisers
- Graduates and emerging professionals
This diversity creates an inclusive environment where experienced industry leaders and younger professionals can interact on equal terms.
The event has previously attracted senior figures from major firms, including leaders from some of the UK’s largest property companies, while remaining accessible to professionals at all stages of their careers.
Networking in a More Natural Environment
One of the defining features of PropSki is its informal approach to networking. Unlike traditional conferences held in exhibition halls or meeting rooms, relationships at PropSki develop organically through shared experiences.
Networking opportunities take place throughout the week via:
- Group ski sessions
- Sector-specific ski days
- Après-ski gatherings
- Alpine dining experiences
- Evening entertainment and social events
This relaxed structure allows conversations to flow naturally, helping attendees establish stronger and more authentic professional relationships.
For many participants, the informal setting creates more meaningful business interactions than traditional corporate events.
Sector Hub Hotels and Industry Integration
To further encourage collaboration and relationship-building, PropSki incorporates sector hub hotels designed to bring together professionals from similar areas of the industry.
This structure creates opportunities for focused networking within sectors such as:
- Investment and development
- Agency and brokerage
- Construction and consultancy
- Legal and financial services
At the same time, the wider event encourages interaction across the broader property industry, helping attendees expand their professional networks beyond their immediate specialisms.
Expert-Led Industry Briefings
Although PropSki is best known for its social atmosphere and alpine setting, professional development remains an important part of the experience.
The 2027 programme will include expert-led industry briefings where experienced professionals and market leaders share insight into current trends, challenges and opportunities within the property sector.
These sessions provide attendees with:
- Market intelligence and analysis
- Perspectives on investment and development
- Discussion around industry trends and economic conditions
- Informal opportunities to engage with senior professionals
By combining these briefings with networking and leisure activities, PropSki creates a balanced and highly engaging format.
The Appeal of Sector Ski Days
One of the most popular elements of PropSki is the sector ski day format. These organised sessions allow professionals from specific sectors of the property industry to ski together while building relationships in a relaxed environment.
Shared experiences on the mountain often lead to stronger professional connections and more open conversations than traditional office or conference settings.
For younger professionals, sector ski days also offer valuable exposure to senior industry figures and potential mentors.
Dining, Social Events and Alpine Hospitality
Food, hospitality and social interaction are central to the PropSki experience. The event incorporates sector-specific dining experiences designed to encourage networking in smaller, more focused groups.
Attendees can enjoy:
- Informal mountain lunches
- Hosted dinners and networking evenings
- Après-ski entertainment
- The large-scale 650-delegate Alpine Banquet
These gatherings help strengthen both business and personal relationships while creating a memorable atmosphere throughout the week.
Networking Après and Evening Entertainment
Networking continues long after the ski lifts close. PropSki’s famous après-ski programme is designed to bring delegates together in a lively but professional environment.
Rather than formal networking sessions, the event focuses on:
- Casual social interaction
- Shared entertainment experiences
- Informal business discussions
This relaxed approach helps remove the barriers often associated with corporate networking.
Night Racing and Competitive Spirit
Adding to the excitement of the event is the inclusion of night racing and friendly competitive activities.
These experiences introduce an element of energy and camaraderie while encouraging interaction between attendees from different companies and sectors.
Competition remains light-hearted and social, reinforcing the event’s focus on enjoyment and connection rather than formal business pressure.
A Valuable Tool for Business Development
Many organisations now use PropSki as a strategic business development tool. Companies attend not only to network externally but also to strengthen internal culture and reward staff.
Benefits for attending businesses include:
- Building stronger client relationships
- Developing new industry contacts
- Team building and staff engagement
- Recruitment and talent identification
- Increased visibility within the property sector
Feedback from previous attendees consistently highlights the long-term business value created through the event.
A Proven Success Story
PropSki’s reputation has grown steadily over the past decade, with attendance increasing year after year. The sold-out success of the 2026 edition reinforced its position as one of the most popular networking events within the UK property industry.
Participants regularly praise the event for its:

- Four-night option: 27–31 January 2027
- Seven-night option: 24–31 January 2027
This structure allows professionals to choose the experience that best suits their schedules while still participating in the core networking and social activities.
Why PropSki Continues to Grow
