The 18th ULI Europe Annual Conference will be themed ‘Rethinking, Reinvention & Recovery’. The theme reflects the continued im­provement in sentiment towards Eu­rope’s real estate markets and the pro­gramme will have a particular focus on the new ideas and innovations being em­ployed during the market recovery. The conference will be chaired by Gi­ancarlo Scotti, chief executive of Italian headquartered Generali Real Estate, and will review the economic, environmen­tal and public policy issues that will affect the prospects of the real-estate indus­try in the year ahead. Notable speakers already confirmed include Tony Malkin, president of Malkin Holdings, Joe Azrack chairman of Apollo Real Estate and Pere Vinolas, chief executive of Colonial. This year’s event will have a particular focus on building healthy places, alterna­tive investments, debt refinancing and the prospects for Southern Europe.
