CARDIFF PROPERTY AWARDS

26 MARCH 2021

CARDIFF PROPERTY SYMPOSIUM AND CARDIFF PROPERTY AWARDS

WELCOME

THE CARDIFF PROPERTY AWARDS ARE HERE

usiness starts with a conversation. And all of us with an interest in property have been somewhat confined these past few months. Until now. Welcome to the Cardiff Property Symposium, featuring the Cardiff Property Awards – on March 26 2021 from 1pm… This will be the biggest single gathering of property executives since 2019, before the pandemic. We are delighted to bring together all aspects of the property value chain in the Cardiff area. Just think of the connectedness of the world of property: landowners, planners, visionaries, entrepreneurs, deal-makers, architects, engineers, consultants, developers, builders, suppliers, designers, lawyers, accountants, conveyancers, financiers, mortgagers, underwriters, marketers, all manner of specialists – and agents: for lettings, for resi, for commercial. And then, once built, once transformed, once sold, it all starts over again… This three-staged Cardiff Property Symposium features: Thought Leadership: keynote insights on national trends and local implications Unique Networking: special Hubs mirroring the planned and happenstance nature of networking at events – a little like hospitality boxes at the rugby And Awards: celebration of excellence across all disciplines. So yes, welcome to this Symposium. Different to the Awards in previous years for those all too obvious reasons. But just as vital. Thank you for all your support. Please do make the very best of this special event to build your contacts, rekindle relationships and generate business for your company. Everyone is here straightforwardly to make great contacts and do business. We thank all who have contributed to the Symposium, from our magnificent roster of sponsors, and to our entrants, finalists, judges, to SLX for the bespoke studio and to our host, the BBC’s Laura Rawlings. Business starts with a conversation? OK, let’s get talking…
