"The movers and shakers of the Ukrainian Real Estate and Construction industry have gathered all together under the same roof and at the same time!”, Kerem Cergiz, General Director, Chapman Taylor, Ukraine

The Ukrainian Real Estate Summit took place from 24th – 26th November 2008 at the Premier Palace Hotel in Kyiv and once again firmly re-established its status as the largest and most powerful conference dedicated to the Ukrainian Real Estate market, attracting over 350 attendees at a time of the global financial and economic crisis.

 The Ukrainian Construction Association would also like to thank Adam Smith Conferences for hosting a highly anticipated Anti-Crises Roundtable Discussion Group within the Ukrainian Real Estate Summit. The Roundtable was moderated by the distinguished industry leader Lev Partskhaladze who is the Chairman of the Board of the XXI Century and Chairman of the Board of the Ukrainian Building Association. The debates were fully dedicated to anti-crisis measures for preventing negative effects on real estate and construction industry in Ukraine. (In the past three years, under the Ukrainian Building Association has prepared several draft bills and initiatives, which have received positive feedback in Minregionbud and the special-purpose Committee of the Verkhovna Rada.)

As a result of the 4 hour non-stop debate between top governmental officials and business leaders, pertinent industry decisions have been made at the Ministry and special-purpose Committee of the Ukrainian Parliament level!
