Insights from the Living Sectors Summit 2025: Connection in Focus
The Living Sectors Summit at the Hilton Sydney brought together a standout group of people working across Australia’s living sectors. The energy in the room reflected just how much momentum there is right now, with senior leaders from investment, development, operations, government, design and technology all coming together to talk about the future of housing and community.
A Focus on Connection
Generator Founder Elliott Bouher presented as part of the Innovation Talks series, focusing on the role of connection in building strong, resilient communities.
Drawing on research from the Harvard Study of Adult Development and Dan Buettner’s Blue Zones work, Elliott shared why social connection is closely linked to health, wellbeing and longevity. These insights are especially relevant for the living sectors, where the way spaces are designed and operated can directly shape how people interact and feel a sense of belonging.
The Role of Technology
The conversation also looked at the role technology can play in physical spaces. When used well, technology should support human interaction rather than distract from it. It can help activate shared spaces, encourage social interaction and provide meaningful insight into how residents actually use and experience a place.
Industry Conversations
Alongside the talks, the Generator team spent time at our stand meeting people from across the Asia Pacific region. The conversations were thoughtful and practical, reflecting a shared focus on creating living environments that support real community, not just occupancy.
A big thank you to the Living Sectors Summit organisers for creating a space where these conversations could happen. We left feeling optimistic about what is possible when design, technology and human connection are considered together.
