The 19th IIR Annual Real Estate Management Opening Congress - CIMMIT - will be held in Frankfurt on February 2 and 3, 2009.
At a session entitled 'Optimism or Pessimism - what will 2009 bring?', high-caliber decision-makers from the real estate and finance industries will talk about the future of the German property industry. Panelists include Prof. Dr. Hans Sommer (Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Drees & Sommer AG) and Dr. Andreas Blaschkowski (Executive Board spokesperson, Drees & Sommer AG).

The panel of experts will examine what strategies other companies have adopted abroad, how they learned the ground rules, and what lessons they learned the hard way.
The focus of the subsequent discussion will be on new project development trends. Here, too, the focus is on internationalization.
