72 speakers and several hundred attendees will be joining the next online event organised by Property Forum and RICS, Virtual Property Forum 2020. With three speeches and eleven panel discussions, this event will provide a comprehensive overview of the trends currently driving real estate markets in the CEE region and beyond.


The event will start with the opening speech of Tina Paillet FRICS, Head of Projects and Technology at Generali Real Estate and Chair of RICS in Europe, followed by our two keynote speakers. Dan Bucsa, Chief CEE Economist at Unicredit Bank AG in London will share his macroeconomic outlook and Dr. Marcus Cieleback, Chief Economist, Investment Strategy & Research at Patrizia AG will provide an update on European real estate investments. After these two presentations, you can learn about investment strategies for the post-lockdown world at our senior-level investment panel.

In the second part of the event, there will be three panels at the same focusing on different asset classes: office, residential and retail. In the third part of the event, there will be seven panels at the same time focusing on individual markets in the region: Romania, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Southeastern Europe and the Baltics.

A virtual conference?

Yes, it is a virtual conference, not an online panel, nor a webinar. Virtual Property Forum is Europe's first truly virtual property conference with all the important features of our "offline" events: unique networking opportunities with the leading decision-makers of the CEE property industry and a professional program with inspiring speakers from around Europe and CEE.

How does it work?

  • Live conference stage with keynote speeches, panel discussions featuring leading decision-makers.
  • Interactive break-out sessions with opportunities for the audience to engage in the discussions actively.
  • Expo area with virtual sponsor booths. Sponsors can have interactive private sessions or playing their corporate videos, or just be there answering questions from the audience side. It’s just like visiting an exhibition stand.
  • Networking area where attendees will have the opportunity to video chat with each other one-on-one. Attendees may also exchange virtual business cards by clicking on the Connect button.

Registration is possible on our website.
