Expert-led Panels Provide Valuable Real Estate Insights at MIPIM Asia 2011
HONG KONG, July 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The 6th edition of MIPIM Asia, the world's property market in Asia Pacific, will feature gold-standard conferences to help real estate professionals gain valuable industry insights and explore new business opportunities.
The programme includes keynotes' outlook on the impact of macroeconomics on Asian real estate, as well as tracks on cutting-edge topics such as property investment in China and in emerging markets of South East Asia, sustainable urban development and retail in Asia.
Two keynote speakers will open MIPIM Asia's official programme of conferences on Tuesday, November 15 to discuss the best investment opportunities today and the major risks likely to affect real estate markets tomorrow.
Yiping Huang, Professor of Economics at the China Center for Economic Research of Peking University and the Crawford School of Economics and Government of Australian National University, distinguished himself with his careful study and prescient forecasts of the Chinese economy. He will match his macro perspective with the research of Robert Ciemniak, who will bring a wealth of knowledge from the data collection and analysis platform he developed at Thomson Reuters as Global Head of Real Estate Markets.
MIPIM Asia's conference programme will also address current issues which are transforming the property market through industry segment topics and regional focuses, such as real estate in China on Tuesday, November 15.
Among other conferences, an expert-led panel will examine future real estate projects in the context of changing Chinese demography. Bromme H. Cole, Managing Director at Hampton Hoerter and Stanley Ching, Senior Managing Director at CITIC Capital Holdings Limited, both from Hong Kong SAR, will discuss how the emergence of massive middle class and a rapidly ageing population are placing increased pressure on infrastructure and strong demand in residential, leisure, retail and healthcare property developments.
Wednesday, November 16 will feature session tracks on sustainable urban development, as well as on retail, with case studies of strategies for growth in Asia and a live connection with top-level professionals speaking at MAPIC, the international market for retail real estate taking place at the same time in Cannes, France. Top brands from the luxury sector will present their main achievements in creating and developing projects over the world and more specifically in Asia.
On the closing day of MIPIM Asia, Friday, November 18, Professor Ortalo-Magne and his team from the School of Business at HKUST will combine the wealth of information they will have gathered from conferences and participants' interviews on site, with the expert view of Ms Yue Tang of Jun He Law Offices and Ms Megan Walters from Jones Lang LaSalle. This wrap up session aims at reading the vital signs of real estate in Asia Pacific: are Asian investors who were optimistic a year ago still calling for more cross-border investments within the region? How about those who forecasted bursting bubbles?
The conference will be followed by a "Meet the Chairmen" session, an opportunity to have direct access to leading industry players with respect to their predictions for the region over the next 12 months. The speakers will include Chun Ying Leung, Chairman Asia Pacific of DTZ in Hong Kong SAR.
