Quotes from Past Attendees

“I am truly impressed by the calibre of attendees that I have seen today. It's not easy to get busy professionals and principals to come up to Oxford and I think that it is a testament to the importance of the Oxford real estate program that we have leaders of the industry here actively interacting and staying well into the evening. I think this is a space to watch”
