Why you should come

So it has come after all. Not only came but full-on exploded in our faces. Many of us tried to prepare in various ways and to identify the potential signs that the next crisis is about the hit the world, but life proved more creative and made a move that probably nobody expected or was prepared for. How could they have been... But we, the players in Hungary's property market, are strong, and even if many suffered wounds big or small, we will weather this complex crisis together, supporting each other, and we will begin the next decade of success stronger than before, utilising new experiences and knowledge.

There could probably be no more suitable occasion for the first step in rebuilding than a personal meeting of this vibrant market of real estate professionals, this network of personal and professional connections, where we can finally smile and shake hands again, clinking glasses in celebration as we share our views on the most important professional and business issues, engage in discussion and debate, and listen to opinion leaders in the market.

The event, which attracted a record number of more than 1,000 visitors from the industry last year, will again offer a full day of professional programmes on topics including investments, developments, financing, macroeconomic processes, technological innovations, tenants' expectations, facility management, retail, hotel, e-commerce and logistics, the housing market, alternative products, or marketing and HR. Do not miss out on the event of the year!

Section I./A – A new trinity in the property market: Adapt, adapt, adapt

Last year, we were “only” worried about the increasingly pressing global issue of climate change, and with good reason, but 2020 brought our world a huge twist that has had a serious effect on the property market and to which it must adapt. However, we are still largely in the dark as to how big the shock was, how deep the crisis is, or what long-term changes the pandemic will bring. Everyday life and the world of real estate are both transforming around us at the speed of light, with home office, social distancing, home deliveries, digitalisation, border lockdowns, payment moratoriums and a number of other things uprooting the world we used to know. Will these disappear eventually or will they persist? What will they leave behind? Are we going to return to the pre-virus world, or will these “achievements” stay with us?

Section I./B

The financing side appears to be stable despite all the question marks, and investors are looking for the best deals. Many have found themselves in a bind and so there are very good deals available at discount prices, while other market players are playing the waiting game. Are banks preparing for bankruptcies and portfolio cleanings, or will the loan repayment moratorium offer a solution for all problems?
