SA REIT Conference 2018

The SA REIT Association is hosting the third biennial gathering, the SA REIT Conference 2018 at the Sandton Convention Centre in Sandton Central on Thursday, 15 March 2018. The gathering is sponsored by Nedbank CIB and has proven to be an event of powerful significance to this sector.

“Nedbank’s Property Finance’s involvement in the SA REIT conference dates back to its inception following the introduction of the REIT structure. As sponsors of the Association’s conference and bankers to many of the Association’s members, we are fully supportive of the objectives of the Association to improve governance, reporting and transformation in the industry. These initiatives have enabled the internationalisation of the SA listed property sector, which has been nothing short of spectacular, as evidenced in the number of pure play internationally listed companies that now account for close to 40% of the entire market capitalisation of the listed sector,” says Robin Lockhart-Ross, Managing Executive of Property Finance at Nedbank CIB.

Jaap L. Tonckens, CFO of Unibail-Rodamco, will headline the SA REIT Conference 2018 and explore the latest REIT trends and investor sentiments, and specifically those becoming evident in Western Europe. Tonckens is responsible for overseeing the investments of what is set to become the world’s biggest international retail property owner after the recent announcement of its record-breaking USD16bn deal to buy Westfields.

The conference will feature trending topics and compelling conversations, in both the local and global context. It will arm delegates with essential perspectives on immediate and future influences, opportunities, challenges and innovations.

The SA REIT Conference has sold out in previous years, and its 2018 edition has already received enthusiastic take-up from delegates for its limited seating. To register your attendance for the conference, visit the SA REIT website – www.sareit.com.
