With Indonesia’s affluent middleclass and millionaire population growing rapidly amidst a temporary slowdown in the property market, there is great interest from local and regional industry players and experts on how Indonesia’s property sector can face its current challenges and how it will evolve in the future.
Some of these experts will be at the inaugural Property Report Congress Indonesia 2016 , the acclaimed conference series hosted by Property Report, Asia’s leading luxury real estate, architecture and design media platform.
The wholeday event will bring together experts from Indonesia and around the region to discuss the current state of the Indonesian real estate market. It will be held on 13 October, from 08:00 to 16:00 at the Fairmont Jakarta, supported by official property portal Rumah.com , Indonesia’s leading property website.
Confirmed speakers include the who’s who of the industry and the government, including conference chairman Todd Lauchlan, country head of Jones Lang LaSalle Indonesia.
The opening keynote address will be given by Hendra Hartono, chief executive officer of Leads Property Services Indonesia and chairman of the Indonesia Property Awards 2016 judging panel. Hartono has been tapped to give a 2016 market overview and lead a panel discussion called “What it takes to develop a luxury project.”
Mr Bambang Brodjonegoro, the Minister of National Development Planning of Indonesia, will talk about how Indonesia’s government is supporting the real estate industry in his keynote speech.
Panel moderators at the Jakarta leg of the conference series include: Mina Ondang, director, Cushman & Wakefield (“How the MRT could transform Jakarta real estate”); Mink Tan, chief designer/registered architect, MINKKE Architects (“The rise of stateoftheart architecture in Indonesia”); and Paulius Kuncinas, regional editor, Oxford Business Group (“What tax and the law can do improve the Indonesian real estate market”). In addition to the panel sessions, there will be a workshop on “The content marketing sweet spot and how to find it,” to be facilitated by digital strategist Ian Payton, founder of Hashtagcontent.com. Paynton
has shared his content marketing insights at the previous Property Report Congress events in Vietnam,Myanmar and Malaysia.
Jaime Rivera, Asia regional director at Crystal Lagoons, official sponsor of the Indonesia Property Awards 2016, in turn will talk about waterbased technology and how it can increase interest in property developments in the region. A worldrecord holder for the largest manmade lagoon, Crystal Lagoons’ first project in ASEAN was in Bali.
Conference delegates will have a chance to meet and learn from Asia’s industry leaders who are redefining the Indonesian property landscape. Panelists will be coming from Jakarta and overseas. As always, the opening and closing remarks will be given by Liam Aran Barnes, brand director and editor in chief of Property Report. “We’re bringing our conference series to Jakarta at a time when the Indonesian government is looking for various means to implement programmes to boost the sluggish domestic market ,” Barnes said. “This is
one of the ways that our publication can support Indonesia’s property sector apart from the annual Indonesia Property Awards.” Since debuting in Singapore in October 2015, five successful Property Report Congress events have been held in Manila, Ho Chi Minh City, Yangon, Kuala Lumpur and most recently in Bangkok, which welcomed the series’ biggest audience in 2016 of about 140 delegates, speakers and media.
Property Report Congress has been described as “a great networking event and platform for people in the real estate industry to come together and share ideas,” according to Bertil De Kleynen, sector director for Architecture, Interiors & Landscape at Atkins Global, and featured speaker at the Ho Chi Minh City conference.
Organised by PropertyGuru, Asia’s leading online property portal group, the Property Report Congress will be followed by the annual Indonesia Property Awards 2016 blacktie gala dinner in the evening, from 18:00 to 22:30, which will be attended by 300 of the country’s top real estate developers, executives and industry professionals.
