In April, decision makers and top players across the non-listed real estate industry gathered in Athens to attend the INREV Annual Conference. After two years of holding our flagship event virtually, it was wonderful to see everyone in person, providing the opportunity to catch up with friends, colleagues, and peers.

With the worst of the pandemic hopefully behind us, our theme for the conference purposefully reflected on the future and how the industry can now work together toward a sustainable recovery.

The non-listed real estate investment industry has seen a significant increase in the focus on ESG measures in recent years.
