APREA China REIT Conference

With the theme 'The Golden Breakthrough', the APREA China REITs Conference is a must-attend event that brings together industry leaders, experts, and investors to explore the rapidly growing Chinese REITs market.

The growth of C-REITs has been nothing short of remarkable, propelled by strong government support, robust economic development, and increasing investor interest. As the country continues to liberalize its financial markets, China's REITs sector is emerging as a compelling investment option for both domestic and international investors. With a diverse range of asset classes and a rapidly evolving regulatory framework, the Chinese REITs market is poised for significant expansion in the years to come.

Attendees can expect insightful discussions on emerging trends, winning strategies, and untapped opportunities in this burgeoning sector. Don't miss the chance to learn and connect with key stakeholders in shaping the future of China's real assets industry.

APREA’s Commitment to Sustainability in Our Events

APREA is committed to making our events more environmentally responsible. We work closely with our event partners, venues, and suppliers to embed sustainability into the way we plan and execute our gatherings across the region. Our goal is to continually reduce our environmental footprint and promote responsible practices across the real assets industry.

Our key sustainability measures in our events include:

  • Sourcing energy-efficient venues with green certifications or demonstrated sustainable operations.
  • Minimizing single-use plastics, including limiting or eliminating plastic water bottles in favor of refill stations or reusable alternatives.
  • Reducing printed materials and handouts.
  • Using recycled or sustainably sourced paper when printing is necessary.
  • Partnering with vendors and caterers who prioritize sustainable sourcing, local produce, and low-waste food practices.
  • Educating attendees on sustainability efforts at the event and encouraging participation in green practices.

Through these steps, we aim to make every APREA event a reflection of our broader commitment to a more responsible and resilient industry.
