Pacific Rim Real Estate Society Seventh annual conference

January 21-23, 2002, Christchurch, New Zealand

It is 12 years since the inaugural Real Estate Educators Conference (the forerunner to the present Pacific Rim Real Estate Society (PRRES) was organised, which incidentally was held at Lincoln University, Christchurch. It is therefore fitting that Lincoln University now have the honour of hosting what will be the 7th annual conference of PRRES in Christchurch, New Zealand from 21-23 January, 2002.

The conference will be held in the Hotel Grand Chancellor in down-town Christchurch. A range of accommodation options near the conference facilities will be available. Christchurch is the Garden City of New Zealand and will be a beautiful place to visit in the height of summer. The City and the surrounding region has much to offer so what better an opportunity to bring the family along.

Conference programme

This conference provides a major international forum for the presentation and discussion of the latest property-related research. Parallel sessions will follow the usual wide variety of themes, so that researchers and academics will be able to discuss their current research, in a refereed or non-refereed paper. A distinguishing feature of the PRRES Conference is the supportive nature of the conference sessions, with the accent on helping property researchers. Newer researchers and graduate students are particularly encouraged to present their work.

Award for best paper

An award will be made for the best refereed paper and presented to the recipient during the conference.
