Back to Basics

The EPRA Annual Conference in Stockholm is less than two months away. Do take a look through the agenda and discussion points below. There will be interactive questioning at the venue, but feel free to already begin feeding through input, angles and direct questions on the issues as they affect you and your year ahead. The panels and moderators are preparing now. Within and around the conference, the spotlight will be on financing, focused vs. diversified, land economics, current affairs, Best Practice, transparency, and the principle of going back to basics.

There are still places available, but register soon. Feel free to mail Rachel Stewart-Liddon at EPRA if you have questions: rachel@epra.com
