"The theme of the conference is well-chosen, timely and important for Hong Kong's future," Chief Executive Mrs Carrie Lam said. "Our strength in various professional services makes us an indispensable player in the GBA development. To seize new opportunities, the Government will continue to look for measures and arrangements that will assist the surveying profession in their business development in the Bay Area".
The RICS Hong Kong Annual Conference is attended by hundreds of industry professionals and key decision makers every year. Specialists from academia, government, and experts from a broad range of industries will deliver presentations and join panel discussions that explore a possible blueprint for Hong Kong to capitalise on the vast potential unleashed from future growth in the GBA.
The Honourable Mrs Regina Ip Lau Suk-yee, GBS, JP, Legislative Council Member, Hong Kong SAR and Chairperson, New People's Party, will analyse the role of the GBA in China's rise as a global economic power.

"As the GBA's super-connector, Hong Kong is best suited to be the gateway city to promote cross-border transactions and cooperation between China and the rest of the World," said Mr Clement Lau FRICS, Chair of RICS Hong Kong Board. "RICS' role in the GBA is to support Hong Kong in realising its potential in the Bay Area - for the benefit of our economy and that of the entire region".
