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”
“It is the first conference in my 20 years of working in the property industry that there has been an even number of men and women of different ages, different nationalities. It’s been absolutely terrific, so vibrant!”
“This conference is fantastic. Personally I like coming up to Oxford and coming up to the Business School here. It’s a great venue and a great program”
“Fascinating day! Really interesting to go from the UK’s residential market through to looking at Brazil and emerging market investments all in one session and a really interesting array of speakers”
“I thought the diversity of thought and diversity of the panels was great. I think the conference has sought to address some of the leading or troubling issues that are facing the industry and will be faced by the industry in the next few years”
