    HONG KONG, July 17 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- 'The World
Squared: global influences on property in Asia-Pacific' is
the key theme of the pre-opening conference at MIPIM ASIA,
to be held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition
Centre on 26 September 2006.  The world's property market
in Asia Pacific will then open its doors from 27 to 29
September 2006 to welcome more than 100 exhibitors from 23
countries and 1,500 delegates from the five continents.
    
    This forum offers an outstanding opportunity to meet
and discuss with professionals from the global property
market about the central topic of the Asia Pacific
macro-economy, and is inviting as keynote speaker Rod
Cornish, Head of Research at Macquarie Real Estate
(Australia). 

    Recognized as one of the leading property economists
and one of the most often quoted personalities in the
Australian media due to his annual Real Estate Market
Outlook reports and role as financial expert at Macquarie
Digital, Rod Cornish is a vital knowledge source on the
emerging trends in the Asia-Pacific real estate market. 
His pre-opening keynote will be particularly welcome since
in addition to his general expertise, his recent research
has focused on the race for real estate worldwide.  He goes
even further in his latest report, The World Squared, by
giving a powerful vision of the global investment drivers
and an analysis of how real estate markets work in the four
leading economies of the world. 'The World Squared' is
available at http://www.macquarie.com/remo . 

    The pre-opening conference will overview the entire
property market situation in the Asia Pacific region.  As
such, it will act as send-off for the three days of MIPIM
ASIA conferences, during which the Asia-Pacific markets
will be analysed per region, segment and investment mode. 
It will throw light on how to evaluate real estate assets
in the property race, offering a vital source of insight
for professionals wishing to invest internationally in this
region.

    The pre-opening conference will be held in Room 301 of
the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on Tuesday
26 September at 5 p.m.  The event will include a question
& answer session followed by an exclusive reception
where delegates can make contact and start discussions
