High profile lettings industry figures Paul Shamplina and Sally Lawson are amongst the keynote speakers at a new event for agents being held this autumn.

Shamplina, founder of Landlord Action, will give agents a crash course in how they can prepare for eviction changes coming to the private rented sector while Lawson, founder of coaching service Agent Rainmaker, will share expert advice on how letting agents can grow their businesses. 

The event is being run by automated payment service PayProp and is its first in-person agency event since the start of the pandemic.

The invitation-only PayProp Connect event is on November 18 at the Chartered Accountants’ Hall in Central London, with tickets made available to PayProp Awards prize winners and selected other industry leading lights over the coming weeks.

“The PayProp Awards recognise the letting agents raising standards in the private rented sector through their use of technology” says Neil Cobbold, managing director of PayProp UK. 

“Property professionals are doing great work making the industry more transparent and providing more value to landlords and tenants. We want to give proper recognition to that.”

The PayProp Pinnacle Award will crown the day’s overall winner, the agency demonstrating the most complete performance across all award categories.

“This event isn’t just about giving out awards” says Cobbold. 

“It’s about contributing to the continued progress of our industry. Because PayProp Connect will bring together so many top lettings professionals from large and small agencies across the country, and with top industry experts like Paul and Sally joining us, it’s a great opportunity for us all to learn from one another.”
