AustCham Shanghai has created a great forum with industry experts to attempt to get to the bottom of the hottest issue in both the Chinese and Australian markets! We’ll be discussing the opportunities and challenges present in both countries as well as the trends and policy changes in each market which impact the other.

As cross border property financing and lending can be a complex process Lanny Xu of Ironfish China will be there to share his expertise on how best to navigate these transactions. For those interested in buying property in Australia while overseas, Colette Chester of Which Property will share tips on how and what to purchase, and an overview of the market conditions in Australia. As for Australian developers targeting the China market, Scott Kirchner of Beller China will discuss the local buyer profile and how Australian developers can be well-positioned to promote their properties here in China.

Following the speakers’ presentations, we will facilitate an open Q&A panel discussion.

You can choose to make online payment below or RSVP with Holly Hong and pay at the door.
