Property investment in the 21st Century: Trends, tech & international investment

The International Property Investment Network (IPIN) warmly invites you to join them for a fascinating evening of insights and ideas from the interweaving worlds of property investment and financial technology. You’ll hear from the exciting new companies that are shaking up the way that large property players pick assets and from those that are creating the platforms that allow individuals to invest internationally like the pros, as well as from the experts who have been living and breathing real estate for decades, and on whose experience and expertise these exciting new developments are building.

Please RSVP here. If you would like to bring a guest, please ask them to join the group and register their attendance.

We’ll be discussing what markets and sectors are hot now and look good for the future, giving you the chance to voice your own thoughts and put questions to our speakers and panel during the sessions, and to make new connections and swap ideas during our networking and drinks before and after the formal section of the evening’s agenda.
For this event we’re excited to have joined forces with We are Fintech, one of the UK’s largest and most established Fintech Meetups, and are very thankful to Baker Botts LLP for sponsoring the event and providing their fantastic City office as the venue, and to Pionr, the global marketplace for real estate investment, for organising the event.

• How can individuals invest in international property safely and transparently?
• Which real estate sectors and geographies are attracting the smart money?
• What are the biggest threats and opportunities presented by the current global economic outlook?
