A broad spectrum of built environment and real estate professionals will be assembling in Bangkok in mid-November for two days of discussion about the challenges that project holders and solutions providers face, and the best-practice strategies that could apply across the region.

This first Asian edition of the Real Estate Development Summit (REDS) is being organised by GBB Venture and follows other REDS events around Africa and further afield.

Key business stakeholders and executives from the hospitality, residential, commercial and mixed-use sectors across Southeast Asia and the Indian sub-continent will be in attendance for knowledge sharing and strategised meetings.

Indesign Media Asia Pacific will be on the ground as Media Partner, with Asia-based Editor Narelle Yabuka serving as Summit Chairperson.

Latest directions and solutions

The challenges for the real estate industry keep growing year after year, and the summit aims to address a vast array of issues and challenges. Expert-led panel discussions with thought leaders will throw light on the latest market trends and directions to inspire change in the real estate sector.
