CUHK Business School hosts ANREV Research Conference 2024 to bridge real estate academia and industry experts
The ANREV Research Conference 2024 was successfully held on 12 June 2024. The conference gathered nearly 90 distinguished academics, industry researchers, and practitioners from the region to delve into research insights on the forces shaping the real estate landscape.
Co-organised by the Asian Association for Investors in Non-Listed Real Estate Vehicles (ANREV), the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Business School’s School of Hotel and Tourism Management (SHTM), and Centre for Hospitality and Real Estate Research, the conference sought to facilitate meaningful discussions and professional networking among esteemed academia and industry experts in the real estate sector.
The keynote address provided participants with a glimpse of the key findings of the Asia Pacific Real Estate Chief Sustainability Officer Survey, highlighting that balancing business aspirations and sustainability remained a key concern. This was followed by a series of thought-provoking paper and panel sessions which covered a wide range of topics, including ESG, proptech (property technology), the dynamics between macroeconomic forces and property pricing, as well as liquidity in the real estate capital market.
Before the event was closed, participants unwound over a cocktail reception, networking with their peers, and exploring potential collaboration opportunities for the future.
Special acknowledgements were extended to the generous sponsors, including Chung Chi College and New Asia College, as well as Riskory Consultancy Limited, the partner on carbon neutrality.
