Captains of the industry are present and the conference now is a must on the calendar. Well done and look forward to next year!

George Stewart LaBrooy, Executive Director – AXIS REIT Managers, Malaysia
This is the first time that I have attended the REIW Asia conference and I was impressed with the quality of the presentations given, both in terms of the content and also the way in which there was extensive audience participation. As the moderator for the Vietnam panel, I found that the panelists had extensive experience and knowledge of Vietnam from an investor and developer point of view, which gave the audience a good solid background on a little known country which is expanding and developing very fast.
REIW Asia is also a platform for business partners to meet. Of particular importance to me - a service provider in Vietnam - was the level of the those who attended the conference. REIW Asia was able to attract senior level decision makers to the conference.
Peter Dinning, General Director - Colliers International, Vietnam
I certainly plan on being back for the REIW conference in Singapore. I really did find it to be one of the best I have ever attended, both in its content and the well organized way in which everything was handled.
Alan Snoddy, Senior Vice President - The Church Pension Fund, USA
