CEPIF 2008 Conferences once again enjoyed huge popularity among guests visiting CEPIF at the EXPO XXI Centre. Heated, but still substantive discussions among the speakers broke during some of the parts, which allowed the attendees to keep track of full-profile of real estate experts’ opinions. And for yet another year running, the CEPIF conferences took the pride in the stature of their speakers.

The first day was dedicated to presenting situation in major sectors of the CEE industry: residential (presented by: Robert Chojnacki/redNet Property Group), office (Brian Burgess/Savills), warehouse (Tom Listowski/CB Richard Ellis), hotel (Alister McCutchion/Jones Lang LaSalle) and retail (Renata Kusznierska/DTZ).

CEPIF conferences’ speakers spent the second day presenting the issues of: sustainability (presented by Claire Lowe/BRE Global and moderated by Aleksandra Zentile-Miller/Chapman Taylor International Services), investment strategies in the CEE region (moderated by Przemyslaw Kozdoj/Allen & Overy, A. Pedzich; Neil Lewis/Visiumgroup also presented views of British and Irish investors on that matter) and outside CEE (once again Robert Chojnacki/redNet Property Group). Alex Kloszewski (Colliers) with his guests also examined preparations in Poland and the Ukraine to organizing the European Championship in 2012.
