The Estates Gazette Midlands Question Time event was a new and creative way of engaging with developers and the property profession. This open forum event with questions from the floor enabled the attendees and panel to gain insights into the key issues facing both the public and private sector.
This is a must attend event and one we hope will be back in Birmingham in 2012.
