Designed as a half-day, senior-level forum, the forum is intended for business owners, C- and S-level executives, and key decision-makers from across the rented residential value chain: investors, developers, operators, banks and lenders, public authorities and industry thought leaders. With a highly concentrated audience of active market players, it offers a rare opportunity to connect with the people setting strategy, deploying capital and shaping policy in the sector.
