Connect with 900+ senior level attendees, including 400+ building owners, developers, and investors from Canada's top institutions. Hear from 60+ expert speakers and get the strategic insights you need to survive and thrive in 2023 and beyond.

How is the current economic environment and recent legislation change impacting municipal planning, major infrastructure, and development policies in the country?

What impact will high interest rates and looming recession have on the real estate market in next 12 months?

What are the key economic drivers, trends and opportunities in the residential, office, retail and industrial markets across Canada?

Uncover answers to all these pressing questions and get strategic insights into the Canadian real estate industry at the 2023 Land & Development Conference.

This year's conference will provide expert knowledge from the perspective of owners, investors, developers, lenders, property and asset managers from across Canada. The agenda, put together with the help of our advisory council, focuses on the key topics including:
• Keynote address: Rolling out of the provincial governments Bill 23
• Land availability and values across Canada: Do we have a shortage of available land? What do major land transactions across Canada tell us about the story behind the headlines?
• Alternative debt financing strategies and opportunities for real estate developers when financing land development projects in the current economic environment

The 2023 conference will bring together 900+ senior real estate executives, owners, brokers, developers, investors, asset managers, and other professionals active in the acquisition, leasing, financing, management, and marketing of all asset classes.
