Student housing has emerged as an institutional investment product in the UK and Continental Europe is set to follow suit.
As student housing goes mainstream, the topic is drawing more and more attention at international trade fairs and conferences. The topic is also on the agenda this year at Expo Real.
After Expo Real, PropertyEU has been signed up as the exclusive media partner for the Class of 2020 Student Housing Conference to be held in Amsterdam on 13 November.
The one-day conference will explore new opportunities in the growing continental European marketplace. As the global education market moves towards more competition and further internationalization,providing suitable student accommodation is a growing challenge for university cities across Europe. At the same time this presents new opportunities and has sparked interest from investors. The Class of 2020 is a platform for knowledge to help overcome the challenges, and stimulate the provision of student housing throughout Europe - and beyond.
Selected confirmed speakers include Matthias Thomas, CEO INREV; David Chapman, Director General World Youth Student & Educational Travel Confederation; Stefano Lo Russo, Alderman Regional Planning City of Turin; Rudy Stroink, Chairman Urban Land Institute (ULI) Netherlands and Daniel Piazolo, Managing Director IPD Investment Property Databank.
