Real Estate Finance Virtual Conference

22 February 2022, 09.15 – 13.00

On Demand Virtual Online Conference

The changing fabric of real estate

It is evident that the built environment has a significant impact upon our daily lives. But what is also increasingly clear – particularly in light of the global pandemic – is that the way we live can change what we need from the built environment, including our homes and the spaces where we work and socialise.

The LMA's Virtual Real Estate Finance Conference 2022 explored the changing fabric of real estate, and how the real estate finance market across EMEA is performing in the face of, amongst other things, a global climate emergency, rapidly changing technologies, shifting demographics, supply chain shortages and geopolitical tensions. It is now available on demand for LMA members only.

Please note, this virtual conference was first streamed live on Tuesday, 22 February 2022.
Press: Do Not Quote Speakers Without Seeking Authorisation First.

This virtual conference will only be on demand until Friday, 11 March 2022. After this time it will not be possible to view or receive any event materials.
