Third Party Event

18 Jan 2011

Dear Oxford Business Group subscribers,

Turkey GRI 2011, 18 January, Istanbul will bring together the leading international players and national decision-makers that are driving the real estate business in Turkey today in the Ceylan Intercontinental Hotel, Istanbul.

The Global Real Estate Institute (GRI) is a global club of senior real estate investors, developers and lenders that runs its activities through a collection of annual meetings focused on different regions of the world. There are annual GRI meetings in 12 countries.

Like all GRI meetings, the Turkey GRI will have no speakers and no panellists, just informal discussions in small groups, where everyone participates equally.


If building close relationships with the driving elite of the real estate industry at the most senior levels can be useful to you or your organisation, GRI invites you to join them in Istanbul.

There is little to do but show up and join in the discussion with all others present.
GRI discussions are not panels but collegial conversations involving all participants in small groups running concurrently.
