About the Conference
Real Estate at Crosscurrents: Cyclical Waves or Structural Tsunami?
The real estate industry stands at a pivotal juncture, facing unprecedented challenges and opportunities. This conference aims to dissect the complex interplay between cyclical fluctuations and structural transformations shaping the future of real estate investment.
As we navigate through economic uncertainties, technological disruptions, and evolving societal needs, understanding whether these changes represent temporary cycles or permanent shifts is crucial for industry stakeholders.

We will host an additional ticketed dinner reception at Worcester College, which we hope you will also join us at. Ticket availability is limited with only 250 tickets for the day programme and 50 tickets for the college dinner - make sure to book early and not miss out!
