HONG KONG, Nov. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- In one month's time, real estate leaders from all over the world will meet in Hong Kong at the two-day MIPIM Asia summit. They will join in the discussion with some 60 industry leaders who are already confirmed to speak in the MIPIM Asia conference programme covering specific areas of investment trends, forecasts and retail real estate.
In 2013, MIPIM Asia welcomed over 800 CEOs and top executives from 33 countries around the globe, to revisit property fundamentals and rethink retail perspectives, with approximately 50% of them being investors and developers. This year, MIPIM Asia's conference and networking events will focus on inbound and outbound investment opportunities. More opportunities will be shared and more insights will be explored, as the programme features "out of the box" thinkers and doers, and offers a comprehensive vision of real estate, from conception to end-usage, via investment and development.
