CoreNet Global to Host Symposium on ¡¥Corporate Real Estate Design for Profit and Productivity¡¦at Guangzhou Design Week

November 27, 2007

Global Real Estate Experts To Share Design Strategies And
Ideas Atone Of The Most Prominent Events On The
International Design Calendar

    GUANGZHOU, Nov. 27 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- CoreNet
Global is pleased to announce that it will host a symposium
on "Corporate Real Estate Design for Profit and
Productivity" at this year¡¦s Guangzhou Design Week
scheduled to take place at the Guangzhou Baiyun
International Convention Centre from November 29 to
December 4, 2007.

    The symposium, which will be held from 9.00 a.m. to
6.00 p.m. on November 30 will bring together commercial
property experts and thought leaders from around the globe
for a day of information exchange, networking and
discussions on issues pertinent to all aspects of corporate
real estate (CRE) design.

    Co-organised by the Government of Guangzhou, the
International Council of Interior Architects and Designers
(ICIAD) and City Expositions Guangzhou, the forum is
considered timely given the dynamic economic growth of the
Pearl River Delta area and escalating demands across the
region for commercial property ranging from manufacturing
facilities to office space. 
     
    The event will therefore not only provide audience
members with a unique opportunity to learn more about a
sector of crucial importance to the development of the
Southern China region. 

    More significantly, delegates will also benefit from
insight into facility planning, strategy, management and
methodologies, plus how best practices in corporate realty
design can create value for their organizations.

    According to Mr. Alex Lam, CoreNet Global¡¦s Managing
Director for Asia Pacific, identifying future commercial
real estate design trends and creating business models to
maximize return on property investments is integral to the
success of Chinese companies operating in the Pearl River
Delta area.

    Mr. Lam comments, "CoreNet Global is thus very
proud to partner with the ICIAD and City Expositions
Guangzhou to host an event dedicated to introducing the
concept of corporate real estate design and why it is
important for Chinese corporations to embrace CRE as part
of their strategy for business success."

    The opening address for the symposium will be provided
by Mr. Weiguang Guo, Vice Director of the Economic and
Trade Commission of the Guangzhou Municipality who will set
the scene for the one day programme by defining the economic
outlook for Southern China, and the important contribution
the real estate industry is likely to make towards the
region¡¦s development and growth.

    The symposium will also feature engaging presentations
from representatives of organizations including Motorola,
Standard Chartered Bank, Cisco Systems, Siemens, Jones Lang
LaSalle, DEGW and the International School of Beijing.

    In addition, subject areas to be discussed will range
from ¡¥Design Trends in Global Business,¡¦ and ¡¥Corporate
Design Standards,¡¦ to ¡¥What Makes a Good Real Estate
Investment¡¦ and ¡¥Why Design is Important to Business
Success.¡¦
