Macroeconomic Keynote with Q&AMartin Wolf CBE, Chief Economics Commentator, Financial Times
Panel Session – Regulation & Policy Analysis
The long lasting economic downturn has had a significant impact on the property market, with gross lending figures in the UK having halved since they were recorded at £80bn in 2007. The need to build greater resilience in the financial system, has led to regulatory reform including Basel III for the banking sector, which will impact on the funding available for new deals. Understanding the effect of new regulation, and future economic growth forecasts, will be essential for investors as they look to make important strategic decisions.

SESSION TWO – LONDON, EUROPE & THE NORDICS
Panel with Q&A – The City of London
The City of London has been viewed as something of a safe haven by embattled investors who are looking to steel their portfolios against tough conditions. This influx of overseas investment, often described as a ‘flight-to-quality’, has seen a number of international investors snapping up much of London’s prime real estate. The panel will analyse what makes the City of London such an attractive investment destination, and assess how it compares to other cities.

SUMMIT AGENDA
Panel with Q&A – UK, Europe & The Nordics
The gap between Northern and Southern Europe has widened dramatically during the recession. Further evidence of the South’s decline can be seen when comparing it with the Nordics, where international investors see plenty of opportunity for safety and high yields. Will the South ever recover or is this divide now too big? What role are Germany and France playing in the commercial property space? How hard is it for international investors to penetrate Nordic markets?

SESSION THREE – INTERNATIONAL INVESTORS
Crossrail Case Study Presentation
Ian Lindsay, Land and Property Director, Crossrail
New Financiers – Insurers, Private Equity, Pension Funds
The traditional channels through which investors could secure funding for new deals, is likely to feel the squeeze as the banking sector has a reduced ability to provide financing due to new regulatory obligations. However, this has in-turn paved the wave for a new group of financiers to carve out a greater share of the market for themselves. How have insurance firms developed their role in recent years? What has been the impact of private equity involvement? Which pension funds are looking to provide long term funding options?

SESSION FOUR
Speech: The Shard - Case Study
The newest iconic building on the London skyline is The Shard, which sits facing the City of London on the less-populated south side of the Thames. Its inception was the result of an international collaboration, which was forced to take a revised strategic direction as the recession started to take hold.
