Description

2017 marks our Society’s 30th anniversary since inception. To honour this landmark birthday, we are holding a special one-day conference. The keynote session features three of our Fellows looking at the changing face of property research, followed by a panel about required researcher skills 30 years from now. A group breakout session will then debate our role in the context of trends that are impacting our profession, including climate change, policy, the internet and demographics. The closing keynote presentation will be given by Stian Westlake, Policy Adviser to the Minister of State for Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation. The day will culminate with celebratory drinks. Please register to join us at Cass Business School on 7th September 2017.
