RICS Summit Series Americas 2018 - Miami | RICS | 20 March 2018 | Ernest R Graham University Center, 11200 SW 8th St, Miami, FL, 33199, USA

To celebrate its 150th Anniversary, R.I.C.S. will bring together thought leaders, innovators and industry stakeholders to seven major cities across the US, Canada, Mexico and Brazil. Starting in January, the Summit Series Americas will travel across the region bringing together thought leaders, industry experts and senior professionals to discuss topics and issues impacting our world today.

As the RICS Summit Series Americas 2018 touches down with conferences in different cities, clearly the question of resilience is top of mind. In Miami, the question is an urgent one – the hurricanes of 2017 came one after the other reaching the record of 10 consecutive storms reaching hurricane status. On March 20, we’ll gather leaders like former Mayor from Miami Beach, Philip Levine and former Congressman John Mica to talk about the future of coastal cities.

The Summit Series will also focus on key topics like:
• Construction in the 21st Century
• Valuation and mitigating against the bubble
• Infrastructure
• PropTech
