Europe is going through major political and economic changes, but despite of all the uncertainty, 2016 was truly a turning point for the CEE property investment market. An increased number and more diverse group of investors started looking at individual assets and portfolios, resulting in the largest number of transactions since the beginning of the crisis. Will this upward trend continue into 2017 and 2018? Which CEE countries can present themselves as the best choice for investors? Where will new money come from to the region? Top international investors will answer all of these questions and many more in Vienna.

The first ever Property Forum event was organised in Vienna four year ago. CEE Property Forum 2013 had nearly 30 speakers and 150 visitors. This year 70 speakers and more than 400 visitors will come together in the Austrian capital at the 5th CEE Property Forum. Not only the numbers of participants but the topics have also increased during these five years. All CEE countries and all segments of the market from office to hotel and from retail to student housing are covered by diverse panel discussions and special attention is payed to topics that are currently reshaping the face of the property business, namely wellbeing and property technology.
The second largest Property Forum event focuses on the most dynamically growing region of the continent, Southeastern Europe. To this date, SEE Property Forums have been held in Belgrade and Bucharest. This year’s event, SEE Property Forum 2017 attracted 50 speakers and more than 200 visitors in the Romanian capital.
“In 2017 Property Forum continued its expansion by the introduction of a new format. Over 20 speakers and more than 100 visitors came together in the Czech capital for the first ever Prague Property Summit in April. A few weeks later a similarly sized crowd analysed the potential of the Slovak market at the first Bratislava Property Summit. 2018 is expected to be another year of growth for Property Forum with the introduction of new locations and new editions of other events such as the Emerging Europe Property Forum in London”, said Csanád Csürös, CEO of Property Forum.
