Remit at PCS-Expo - 17th, 18th October
Business Design Centre, Islington, London
Why should you visit PCS-Expo this year?
Because this is one place to keep up with business trends which will directly affect your ability to profit in the property market. The range of seminars has expanded and the quality of the speakers is as high as at any major property conference.
We are delighted to participate once more and look forward to meeting you there.
There are two types of seminars, both free: KeyNote sessions of interest to all senior business leaders, moderated by Sarah Montague of BBC Radio 4; and the PCS seminars on specific topics ranging from internet tips to psychometric testing.
Here are some of the sessions you shouldn't miss:

Remit Consulting at PCS-Expo
We will have a stand on the upper gallery (420) on the left (looking from the entrance) - please visit us to discuss any of the subjects from our newsletters or in the seminars. We will be giving away bottles of water on our stand to keep you going - it will be a long day!
This is the fourth year that we have helped structure the KeyNote sessions and we are proud to have helped again this year. We believe that the issues covered are at the heart of the UK property industry today and hope that you will enjoy the debates.
In addition, Andrew Carter will be discussing the straightforward approach to measuring performance in property portfolios on the Wednesday at 10.40am in the PCS seminars - be they occupier or investment portfolios. Read more . .
