According to Property Forum’s survey, real estate professionals in CEE are not afraid of future technologies and they think that just because the way we work is changing that doesn’t mean that we will need less office space in the future.
Property Forum introduced a new interactive tool at its conferences. Mentimeter allows the audience to vote on questions using their smartphones with the results displayed immediately for everyone to see.
This new surveying method was first used at CEE Property Forum 2017 in Vienna. Property Forum has already summarised the
most thought-provoking discussions of the day, now it’s time to see how the audience of the conference sees current trends on the CEE property market.
The attendees of CEE Property Forum 2017 were incredibly optimistic regarding the future of the CEE property business. 94 percent reported a positive overall sentiment.
Unfortunately the audience had a much less positive opinion on the topics of ethics and professionalism. Nearly two thirds of those who answered believe that the level of professionalism and ethical behaviour across CEE is still low and there is plenty of room for further improvement.
The vast majority of conference attendees thought that political uncertainty within the EU poses the biggest challenge for the European property industry these days. Only 13 percent saw technology-based disruptors as a threat, so it is not surprising that most real estate professionals at CEE Property Forum didn’t agree with the following statement.
Stay tuned for our future conferences with more debate-starting questions!
