Changing REITs markets REIT markets have been rapidly evolving in Asia and the world. The rise in M&A activity has been a notable trend in various REIT markets, as REITs seek to achieve greater scale. M&A activism has also generated ripples in the REIT space. In the infrastructure sector, the “One Belt, One Road” project is expected to stimulate an explosion in demand for infrastructure investment and financing. As Asian REITs and infrastructure funds continue to develop, what can they learn from more mature REIT regimes in the United States and Australia? What challenges and opportunities lie ahead for REIT markets around the world?

Continuing Professional Development /Continuing Legal Education
For Conference delegates from jurisdictions where CPD/CLE is mandatory, the IBA will provide a Certificate of Attendance for the Conference. Subject to CPD/CLE requirements, Conference delegates can use this to obtain the relevant number of hours’ accreditation. The number of CPD/CLE hours available may vary depending on the rules applied by the members’ bar association/law society on time recording criteria. A Certificate of Attendance is available to Conference delegates on request. Please ask at the IBA conference registration desk for information on how to obtain the certificate.
The organisers may at any time, with or without giving notice, in their absolute discretion and without giving any reason, cancel or postpone the conference, change its venue or any of the other published particulars, or withdraw any invitation to attend. In any case, neither the organisers nor any of their officers, employees, agents, members or representatives shall be liable for any loss, liability, damage or expense suffered or incurred by any person, nor will they return any money paid to them in connection with the conference unless they are satisfied not only that the money in question remains under their control but also that the person who paid it has been unfairly prejudiced (as to which, decision shall be in their sole and unfettered discretion and, when announced, final and conclusive).
IBA Harassment PolicyIBA conferences provide unrivalled professional development and network-building opportunities for international legal practitioners and their professional associates. The IBA values the participation of every delegate and member of the IBA and wants all attendees to have an enjoyable and fulfilling experience. Accordingly, all conference attendees are expected to show respect and courtesy to other attendees, IBA staff and those involved with hosting the events throughout the conference and at all conference events, receptions, and parties, whether officially organised by the IBA or others. All delegates, guests, attendees, speakers, exhibitors, staff and volunteers at any IBA event are required to conform to the IBA Harassment Policy.
See www.ibanet.org/conferences/harassment-policy.aspx
Cancellation and no-show policyPlease note that in the event of any cancellations or no-shows, rooms will be charged to the individual guest’s credit card given at the time of booking.
72 hours’ advance notice to your arrival date is required to avoid cancellation penalty of one-night accommodation. In the event of a no-show, the cost equivalent to one-night room rate will be charged to your credit card.
Delegates are responsible for making accommodation reservations directly with the hotel and entering into an agreement with the hotel regarding credit card guarantees, cancellation terms and conditions, and room rates (should these differ from the special IBA rate).

International Bar Associationthe global voice of the legal profession
The International Bar Association (IBA), established in 1947, is the world’s leading organisation of international legal practitioners, bar associations and law societies.
The IBA influences the development of international law reform and shapes the future of the legal profession throughout the world. It has a membership of more than 80,000 individual lawyers and more than 190 bar associations and law societies spanning over 170 countries.
Inspired by the vision of the United Nations, the IBA was founded in the same spirit, just before the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was proclaimed in 1948.
The IBA covers all practice areas and professional interests, providing members with access to leading experts and up-to-date information, enabling them to better represent their clients’ interests.
Through its various committees, fora and task forces, the IBA facilitates the exchange of information and views among its members as to laws, practices and professional responsibilities relating to the practice of law around the globe.
IBA Asia Pacific Regional Forum OverviewThe Asia Pacific Forum offers fantastic opportunities to establish contact with legal experts in and outside of the region, practising in many different areas of law, and to keep abreast of legal business developments in the region.
IBA Banking Law Committee OverviewThe Banking Law Committee provides a worldwide forum for banking lawyers and other legal professionals within the banking community to address all sorts of practical and legal issues arising in commercial and regulatory activities in this context.
IBA Securities Law Committee OverviewThe main goal of the Securities Law Committee is to bring together securities lawyers from a broad range of countries to follow, discuss and shape public policy in a world of rapidly globalising capital markets.
