TO FIND OUT WHERE THE WORLD AND REAL ESTATE ARE HEADED, WHILE NETWORKING AND HAVING NEW BUSINESS EXPERIENCES
THE LEARNING & THE NETWORKING EXPERIENCES / DAY 1 & 2
THE MEDITERRANEAN EXPERIENCE / EXTENDED PROGRAM
THE ISLAND EXPERIENCE / FOR SPOUSES ONLY
A fresh and unusual proposal especially created for the leading players, both domestic and foreign, of the property industry in Spain with the participation of infrequent world-class speakers.
An event designed to meet, learn, share experiences and network on a different, distended and friendly way in a unique place as Ibiza.
All of the sessions at SQUARE will devote at least 15 minutes to an open and lively debate/discussion between the floor and the dais, so that attendees will be able to not only ask a question but also, if they feel like, give their opinion or make their own statement (“tiny speech”).
* Simultaneous translation in all sessions.
THE LEARNING & THE NETWORKING EXPERIENCES
DAY 1 / Wednesday, June 5th
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
SQUARE will devote its first day (June 5th, at 2.00 pm) to give “food for thought” through three world-class Keynote Speakers. They will address “broad issues”, not mere RE issues. They will tell where the world, our society, is heading in geo-political, macro-economic and sociological terms. And it will be up to the SQUARE participants trying to figure out how this will affect RE and their own companies.
for Fundamental Change”
Bill Gates, “The Road Ahead”.When faced with decisions about the future, we tend to rely solely on present data rather than trying to assess and test the unknown. This tendency to extrapolate existing trends of the past may well proof to be dangerous in the coming years. In his talk, Daniel will challenge some of the common believes concerning financial markets and politics.

A window into the future”
Ipsos, the largest independent market research company worldwide, is present in 83 countries interviewing over 15M people per year, collecting their opinions, analysing their behaviour and thoughts. All this data allows Ipsos to understand the present and predict the future. Thus, the results that Ipsos will deliver at SQUARE are based on the Global Trends survey, the largest study of its kind, providing a unique snapshot of the world today. The survey explores the attitudes and behaviours of over 18,000 consumers and citizens in 23 key countries around the world and with over 400 questions, covers
everything from tradition to trust, from brands to business, from society to social media and much, much more.
So, get ready for a privileged premiere on what will be the predominant social global trends in the coming years.

DAY 2 / Thursday, June 6th
THE DISRUPTERS MORNING
+ ART & RE
+ INNOVATION IN HOSPITALITY
+ MONEY, MONEY, MONEY...
It will start with “The Disrupters Morning”, mainly devoted to the changes taking place, and even more coming, in our ways of living and, thus, in the ways we work, travel, shop, live….
We will then, still before lunch, address a very special and uncommon issue, but probably much more important than many consider, which is “art and RE”. That is, how art can be a phenomenal trigger for urban redevelopment and for the adding of value at RE projects.
After lunch, we’ll turn the focus on one of the “hottest” segments of RE world-wide: hospitality. And we’ll make the exercise of trying to anticipate what the industry (and the travel one too) may be like 5-10 years down the road.
And to close, SQUARE will address, of course, what’s king: the money issue. After having heard for the previous 24 hours all the “warnings” and “forecasts” and “trends” that may affect the world and, consequently, the RE industry, four outstanding investors will share their views on where money will be headed in the next years, both geographically and product-wise.

THE MEDITERRANEAN EXPERIENCE
DAY 3 / Friday, June 7th
Extended Program
On Friday, June 7th, SQUARE will deliver a “Mediterranean Experience” for those who may want to extend the networking time with their peers.
A little fleet of motor yachts will depart at 1:00 pm from Marina Botafoch to the neighbouring island of Formentera (35 minutes away) to enjoy a couple of unforgettable experiences: bathing in the crystal-clear waters of Illetes beach and lunching with peers at one of the most fashionable spots on the Spanish coasts, “El Pirata Restaurant”.
The fleet is to return to Ibiza around 6:30 pm.
THE ISLAND EXPERIENCE
ALL DAYS
For spouses only
For those willing to travel to such an appealing place as Ibiza together with his or her “better half”, SQUARE will deliver a special program to experience different aspects of the island, from lunching at an exclusive beach club to go shopping at the Dalias hippy market in San Carlos, or from visiting the lovely little village of Santa Gertrudis, to shopping around the Ibiza “old town”.
