Our conference will feature a distinguished lineup of keynote speakers and panelists from Romania, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, France, and the United Arab Emirates. The roster includes prestigious economists, private investors, and developers deeply entrenched in the real estate sector, alongside representatives from international financing structures, major Romanian banks, and active investment funds within the CEE region. Our experts, ranging from project managers and architects to construction engineers and building science specialists, bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise in real estate project development.

In an era where energy efficiency and sustainability are at the forefront of the real estate industry, our speakers will address crucial topics such as energy self-sufficiency, prosumer strategies, home and building automation, and their integral role in the sustainability of projects. These discussions will help delineate the difference between a project destined for success and one that might not yield a return on investment.

Moreover, we will have representatives from leading hotel chains, both those currently active and those planning to enter the Romanian market, along with suppliers of cutting-edge technologies, FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment), and other essential products vital for the hospitality sector.
