The CEE Summit, now in its 4th year, is a major event in the Central & Eastern European calendar, bringing together global investors and senior property figures with local CEE market leaders to exchange knowledge, ideas and inspiration. Covering key topics in the wider real estate sector, including the investment climate, the event serves as a platform to summarize H1 and look ahead to H2 2017 and beyond. Combining the local strength of Poland Today with the European and global reach of PropertyEU, under the patronage of RICS, attending the CEE Summit is an ideal way to stay on top of this region.
