Building towards 2021 – Vision for Hong Kong as a world city is the theme for this year’s RICS Hong Kong Conference. Into its 4th year, the Conference will again bring in a line-up of high profile international speakers to address on topics relating to “developing the infrastructure for economic growth” and “quality city and quality life”. Both topics are aligned with the HKSAR Development Bureau’s policy agenda. The four main themes of the conference will touch on issues relating to:- Developing the “CBD2” to strengthen Hong Kong’s competitiveness- Building quality living for Hong Kong through culture and heritage- Revitalizing industrial environment- Understanding the push and pull factors from corporate real estates

Leveraging on our global network, we will draw reference and explore from international perspectives through case studies from Australia, US and other Asian countries. This is a not-to-be-missed opportunity to meet international experts and prominet industry professionals.
