| EXPO REAL 2024 with an expanded conference program  With a total of nine stages and sessions in numerous conference rooms, EXPO REAL is offering more space for events this year. The trade fair for property and investment will be held from October 7 to 9, 2024 at the exhibition center in Munich.The conference program has always been an important part of EXPO REAL. Particularly in these challenging times for market participants, exchange and orientation are especially in demand. That is also one of the reasons for the conference program taking place on nine stages this year. Transformation as a key topic At the kick-off event "Transformation: Walk the Talk!", experts will discuss how transformation is being implemented in practice. Numerous panels in the DECARB Arena in Hall A3 will explore how existing buildings, along with cities and districts can become climate-neutral through suitable measures. Other highlights in the EXPO REAL FORUM (Hall A2) include resilient portfolios, housing in Europe, but also real estate investments compared to other asset classes, financing issues, and the state of Germany as an investment location. Invited speakers include Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, the CEO of Siemens Germany and Siemens Smart Infrastructure Germany, Uwe Bartmann, Tina Reuter, Head of Germany at Cushman & Wakefield, and IVD Honorary President Jürgen Michael Schick. Politicians will discuss residential construction On the first day of the trade fair, Klara Geywitz, Federal Minister for Housing, Urban Development and Building, will take part in two panels on residential construction. At 11 a.m., she will discuss the topic "One year before the general election – how does residential construction still have a chance?" with the Bavarian Minister of State for Housing, Construction and Transport, Christian Bernreiter, among others, in the DISCUSSION & NETWORKING FORUM. Immediately afterwards, at 12 noon, she will speak at the EXPO REAL FORUM with representatives of various associations on the panel "Final spurt of the coalition – what else can real estate companies expect?" Transform & Beyond by EXPO REAL offers practical examples While the GRAND PLAZA STAGE is all about the future role of retail and hence retail property and city centers, the PLANNING & PARTNERSHIPS FORUM will once again focus on the hotel industry, logistics, and the office. The new Transform & Beyond by EXPO REAL exhibition area, on the other hand, is primarily about digital solutions, how startups, corporates and VCs work together, or what successful practical examples look like. Keynote speech by political scientist and risk expert Dr. Ian Bremmer On the third day of the trade fair, the Career Day and, for the first time, a conference on municipal heat planning organized by the Logix Initiative will take place. In addition, the EXPO REAL FORUM will feature a panel discussion on the changing investor landscape and an economic and capital market outlook by Dr. Gertrud Traud, Chief Economist at Helaba. This year's motto is "Elections, world market, growth". Another highlight is the subsequent lecture by political scientist and risk expert Dr. Ian Bremmer, President and Founder, Eurasia Group and GZERO Media, on "Identifying Opportunities and Managing Risk in an Unstable World" in the Rialto restaurant (next to the EXPO REAL FORUM). write your comments about the article :: © 2024 Construction News :: home page |
