The Real Estate Investment Manager of The Future

The real estate investment management industry is at a pivotal moment, requiring innovation and adaptation to address new operational challenges and sustainability demands. As the sector faces increasing pressure from shifting market dynamics, sustainability concerns, and the rise of operational real estate models, we invite all real estate alumni and students to a joint real estate investment conference.

Our keynote speaker, Andrew Baum, Professor Emeritus from Oxford Saïd Business School, will present key insights from the "Real Estate Investment Manager of the Future" report, shedding light on how the industry must evolve to stay competitive.

The keynote will be followed by two panel discussions featuring leading industry professionals who will explore critical topics shaping the future of real estate investment management:

Discussion Topics:

1. Investment Strategies in 2025

Where, when, and how to invest in 2024/25. What asset classes and geographies offer the most direct investment opportunities?

2. Active Asset Management and Superior Returns

How changing occupier preferences, technological advances, and sustainability are redefining active asset management.
