Cyprus’ year round sunshine and strategic location in the Eastern Mediterranean - at the crossroad of three continents, Europe, Asia and Africa - coupled with the recent discovery of offshore gas and an attractive inward investment programme centred on granting Cypriot citizenship and permanent residency to high net worth individuals who successfully enter the property market, have established Cyprus as an ideal location for Professional Services, Real Estate development and Energy. Services and tourism are the backbone of the Cypriot economy and contribute significantly to the country’s GDP.

The Cypriot economy has in recent years returned to growth and construction and property development are accelerating throughout Cyprus with Limassol at the heart of some impressive development schemes already completed. Limassol is being transformed through the development of the beautiful marina and old port and the arrival of a high net worth class of residents who are driving the economy.

In view of the above, the island of Cyprus in general and the city of Limassol in particular couldn’t be a more appropriate location for a seminar titled “Property developers, architects, civil engineers – contractual questions, environmental challenges and current trends.

The seminar will be co-hosted by the Environmental & Energy Commission and the Real Estate Commission. The scientific programme covers questions of contract law (especially consultancy agreements), insurance contracts and environmental challenges. Furthermore, Building Information Modelling (BIM) will be discussed. The scientific programme will be closed by two panels on liability and litigation & arbitration.

Our conference hotel is located on the beachfront promenade, overlooking Akrotiri Bay and is the closest beach hotel to the city centre. While in Limassol, one can relax on one of the many beaches and beach cafes; alternatively walk on the seafront known as "Molos promenade", followed by Old Port and Limassol Marina, explore the Limassol Castle and nearby Old Town area. Old Town's Saripolou square in the evening offers an interesting night out experience with many bars & cafes. From a historical and cultural point of view a visit in Amathous Archaeological site, Kolossi Castle and Kourion are worth visiting. The social programme includes visiting beautiful sea front locations to sample delicious Mediterranean food and enjoy Cyprus hospitality. The optional social programme includes a cruise around the coast and snorkeling and swimming in the Mediterranean Sea.
