Taming the Dragon

Real estate is facing challenges so complex and fast-moving that they can feel almost mythical.

This spring, we’re taking on the dragons reshaping our industry. Because when we understand them, shape them, and ultimately harness them, they become sources of strength for people, planet – and the bottom line.

Get ready for a full day of insights, networkning, and great conversations.
The doors open at 8:30 – and close at 19:00
