Some Speakers’ sentences about topics:

"The office market in Budapest is going through a period of over supply, similarly to the cycle experienced in the early years of the decade. Coupled with a severe global recession, this made the market players face huge challenges. This is the case across the entire region - the property market needs the economy and financing to recover: the sooner, the better. Fortunately, there have been signs lately for a more positive outlook in Hungary as well."



"I hate the word "plaza’. We must reach back to the real emotions of shopping and must build retail projects in locations and building quality that people accept as an expression of their urban identity."



"Considerable negative sentiment has surrounded CEE as a region since fall 2008. While this sentiment has been justified with regard to certain parts of the region, other parts of CEE have been unfairly swept up by it. Sentiment towards Hungary has been improving slightly recently, albeit from a low basis, with some potential investors starting to slowly see the long-term value of the market again."



"The winner is already chosen! Those can overcome the crisis successfully who has already made the necessary steps: increasing cost efficiency, centralizing corporate governance, starting fewer projects, only with secured financial supports."



"The urban planning is very important for all settlements, as our district too. The EU -tenders give us a big chance to make developed infrastructure and better milieu for the people of the resident population."



"The financial crisis highlighted the utmost importance of cash flow. Operation ensures continuous cashflow with a decent profit. Its no accident that it has caught the attention of everyone as a good opportunity on this scanty, crisis-ridden transaction market. Operating smaller, lower standard facility portfolios, performing operational sub-tasks is not a great challenge; however not many are competent in integrated, software based operations."



"This panel will feature the intruductions of the panelists' favorite office developments in Hungary and abroad. In addition, the prominent represesentatives of office developers and knlowledgeable experts of the office market will share with the audience their views on the past, the present and the future of the Hungarian office market."
