About the event

The Rented Residential Forum 2026 builds on BONARD’s tradition of hosting high-level industry gatherings across Europe, the UK and Canada. This edition, taking place in Bucharest, Romania, follows the same principles: high-quality content, senior participation, and clear, data-backed perspectives tailored to the region.

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.

BONARD presented data from mature regional markets, particularly Poland, where institutional rental housing and student accommodation have expanded rapidly. Request the report presented at the event via the link below.
