Warsaw, Poland

From the Americas and Asia Pacific and from every corner of the Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) region, business leaders in the real estate industry will assemble at the Colliers EMEA Conference held at InterContinental Hotel in Warsaw from 24 – 26 June to debate events, directions and opportunities in the post-crisis economic and business environment.

By selecting Warsaw as its 2009 venue, Colliers International, one of the top tier of global real estate advisers, has found the perfect venue. Not just the 5-star InterContinental conference hotel, not just the city of Warsaw, but simply by being in Poland: a country whose history proves that it knows more than most how to overcome adversity, how to win when defeat looks certain, and how to rebuild after a crisis.

Managing Partner of Colliers International Poland Hadley Dean noted: “We are delighted to welcome to Warsaw our colleagues from so many countries around the world: from Japan and USA, from Latin America and the Middle East, from Canada and South Africa – and from all across Europe: from Portugal to Russia, from Ireland to Turkey. As such an established real estate adviser in Poland, we can use this opportunity to demonstrate to our many clients what it means to them to be working with the local office of a truly global operation.”

With over 290 offices in more than 60 countries, including almost 100 offices and 37 countries across the EMEA region alone and with operational activity in several others, Colliers is one of the leading providers of advisory and transactional real estate services worldwide.  Almost 13,000 employees generated $1.6 billion in turnover in 2008.

“Although I have been working with Colliers for the past ten years,” commented EMEA Executive Director, Rob Pearman, “a series of accidental events prevented me from visiting Warsaw prior to 2008.  I fell in love with the city from day one.  Of course, as a European, I knew its history – ancient, past and recent – but I did not expect to encounter such a dynamic, energetic and outward looking community.  On behalf of my colleagues from more than 40 countries, I can say that we are excited to be in Warsaw for our annual Conference.”

The Warsaw Conference programme will address major issues facing global and regional business today, with key meetings for the Colliers EMEA Regional Committee and the Colliers Global Committee, as well as for eight critically important pan-regional EMEA Business teams in key business sectors (investment, offices, property & asset management, logistics, development consultancy, corporate solutions, retail and valuation). 

“At a time of global crisis such as we face today,” said Hadley Dean, “bringing into one city the key players in our sector is absolutely critical; not only to our own organisation but – more importantly – to our clients.  We are delighted that this city is Warsaw.”
