CHICAGO - Oct. 10, 2014 - PRLog -- Leading Real Estate Companies of the World^® and Luxury Portfolio International^® are hosting their annual International Symposium in Dubrovnik, Croatia from October 16-18. The event has attracted top real estate professionals from 13 countries worldwide:  Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Mauritius, Mexico, Romania, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey and the United States.

Symposium participants will address global real estate issues and explore how real estate has become an increasingly international business. Speakers include Adrian Hayes, a professional adventurer and business coach who set a Guinness World record for reaching the Earth's three “Poles” – walking all the way to the North Pole and South Pole and summiting Mount Everest. Also in the lineup is esteemed Spanish political economist Ramón Tamames, who will address the impact of environmental changes on real estate assets.

A panel of real estate technology leaders, including Lorne C. Wallace of Lone Wolf Real Estate Technologies, David Friedman of Boston Logic Technology Partners, and Eric Bryn and Jeff Corbett of BoomTown, will explore “Universal Solutions Using Technology.” Also featured are member real estate professionals who will share insights on real estate practices and trends in their local markets.

“The International Symposium has become increasingly important to our membership as we continue to expand our coverage worldwide,” said LeadingRE President/CEO Pam O’Connor. “By giving our brokerages the opportunity to come together in an incredible destination to discuss cross-border business opportunities and pervasive market trends, we strengthen our position as a global real estate leader.”

In addition to past International Symposium conferences held in Venice, Lisbon, Madrid, Rome, Valencia and Dublin, the network recently held its first Asian Immersion Conference in Shanghai, China. Network affiliates will convene again February 9-13, 2015 in Las Vegas for the LeadingRE Conference Week.
