Reflections on the NRL Summit 2024

As both an Awards Sponsor for the Revitalisation category and an exhibitor introducing the revolutionary Switch Star power outlet to the retirement living industry, a great deal of preparation went into the planning of John’s participation in the National Retirement Living Summit 2024.

John’s experience with the organisers of the Summit from the Property Council was made memorable by their professionalism and personal touches.

During the Gala dinner, John presented two awards in the category for Revitalisation as this is an area of the industry that he strongly supports.

As with any event of this calibre, networking plays in important part and John enjoyed meeting with colleagues of many years and making valuable new connections with people from various sectors of the retirement industry.

John was also delighted to present two winners with $1,000 cash prize each at the Switch Star stand where delegates queued to register to claim a free Switch Star outlet and to enter the daily prize draws.

During the exhibition, John’s focus was fixed on highlighting the increasing dangers of lithium-ion fires which are occurring with frightening frequency in lifestyle villages and private homes around Australia. The education of village residents and managers on the profound impact of lithium-ion battery fires is a priority for John particularly as grim news headlines reveal the true scale of the problem. In response to growing tragedies and irreplaceable losses, the teleco veteran designed a powerful yet simple solution: the Switch Star.

The unique and efficient Switch Star power outlet requires no APPS, programming or intervention. All that is needed is a one-off 15-minute install by a qualified electrician.

It is imperative to count the cost of not having a preventative solution in place to protect your home, pets and possessions. John’s statement, “Every home should have one.” remains an impassioned plea to those who own mobility scooters, e-bikes, power tools and golf buggies as Australian communities become increasingly reliant on lithium-ion batteries.

“EVERY HOME SHOULD HAVE ONE.”
