Portugal GRI
27 - 28 May 2020
Lisbon, Portugal
Portugal GRI is a gathering of senior level Portuguese and international real estate investors, lenders and developers.
Portugal GRI is an event designed exclusively for global and local real estate investors, lenders, developers and operators who are active in Portugal
Senior and board-level executives will participate in candid behind closed door discussions debating the investment appetite, development opportunities and partnership possibilities across all asset classes in Portugal.
Unlike a typical event or conference, GRI has a unique format, with no speakers or presentations. Instead, discussions are held in an informal and collegial manner. Much like a conversation in your own living room, the unique discussion format enables you to interact and engage with others: to quickly find the right partners for your business, to build high value relationships, and to continue the conversation afterwards.
Executives from Brazil, France, Germany, India, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, UK
