Donald Trump will headline the 2012 Australian Real Estate Conference in the Gold Coast, albeit via satellite link.

He will be speaking about his brand through Skype from his American home on the American Memorial Day public holiday.

“I will give the delegates of AREC 2012 very sound advice based on my years of experience in business.  My brand has become successful because I’m passionate about it, and have been for many years.  I work at it every day, and love it,” Trump says.

He joins 20 speakers due to speak at the May conference, which is aimed at Australian real estate agents.

The two-day conference even includes a beach party with performances by Jon Stevens, the former front-man of INXS after Michael Hutchence’s death. The party is billed as a networking event.

The second main headliner act is American real estate coach and author Tom Ferry.  The CEO of YourCoach will talk about his business strategies. He coaches agents throughout America and claims to have had a direct role in the careers of 16 out of the top 100 agents in America. He was a big hit at the festival last year and has been invited back.

Other speakers include John McGrath, Li Cunxin the subject of Mao’s Last Dancer and super-agents, sales coaches, gurus and authors from Australia and America.

This year’s event, the 15th AREC summit, is expected to sell out, with 2,500 people to attend. Last year’s event had 2,000 attendees.

Past speakers at the event include Sir Bob Geldorf and Edward de Bono.
