The property market is still in difficult times and 2012 presents a challenge for us all. You need the best advice and informed opinion you can get.

Who can help? Those who know what they are talking about – and the PROPERTYdrum conference team has been working hard to bring you the best in the business.

 

The programme for 2012: Raising Your Game, the PROPERTYdrum National Conference is now complete and the excitement is rising!

 

It takes place on 27 September 2011.

 

It is a business focused, hard hitting, and challenging, inspiring and really useful event to help you develop your business and portfolio in 2012.

Speakers include:

Dr James Bellini, one of our keynote speakers and the moderator for the whole event. Dr Bellini is well known for his work on the BBC on The Money Programme, Newsnight and Panorama, but he is also a Futurologist who speaks at events across the globe on scenarios for the next 20 years; the global shift – the changing balance of world economic power; the impact of emerging technologies and the key to future business success.

Michael Portillo will join us for the lunchtime break, meeting delegates before his presentation which looks at the politics of property. With a highly acclaimed political career followed by an extremely popular television career, and a new role as Chairman of a government backed £55 million Arts Scheme, Michael is a brilliant and entertaining speaker.

Alan Collett is President Elect at the RICS, Chairman of ARIM (Allsop Residential Investment Management) and former Chairman of Allsop, one of the UK’s leading property consultancies. Alan will discuss what residential investors expect from their management agents and how your business can benefit from this special sector.

Grenville Turner is Group CEO of Countrywide, arguably the only property firm in the UK that truly ‘does it all’.

There is plenty more in this action packed programme, from Social Media guru, Tracy Falke, to advertising campaign management expert Charlie Varley, and Peter Bolton King, with Tim Hyatt and Wendy Evans Scott who will review the opportunities for development in other property sectors.

 

Finally, a highlight of the day (amongst a series of highlights!) the PROPERTYdrum Panel take part in Question Time with Dr James Bellini. Who’s on the panel? Mark Milner, CEO Digital Property Group, Miles Shipside, Commercial Director, Rightmove and Alex Chesterman, CEO Zoopla – each of whom has strong opinions on the property market, but who don’t normally share a platform… do not miss it!

 

The PROPERTYdrum National Conference is the only annual conference supported by RICS, BPF, NAEA, ARLA and NAVA.
