The property market is changing, with new demands and new competition, but new technology, new support systems and new services all help savvy agents stay ahead of the game. In our post event survey, 70 per cent of delegates said they would do business with exhibitors that they had met.

The lighter side

With a packed programme, sustenance is vital – delegates had an almost continual availability of this throughout the day; welcomed with pastries, cookies and coffee, pepped up in the morning break with a further range of biscuits, delighted by delicacies over a long lunchtime, delivered by roving waiters, tasty bites included foie gras, fish and chips, crayfish rolls, roast beef and Yorkshire pudding and mini fillet steaks (too name but a few), all washed down with wine and soft drinks.

Sweet toothed delegates also enjoyed a splendid range of mini desserts to set them up for a tough afternoon.

All the exhibitors were interesting. I particularly liked Flamefish – a new option that we hadn’t thought of.

It was great to discuss PSG’s new product, MoveIT – we’ve already signed up for it!
