Over the last few years, the vision and boldness of industry leaders in the UK and Europe has transformed the fractional marketplace and created one of the world’s fastest growing areas of consumer real estate, with fractional property at its core. To reflect this, Fractional Summit 2008’s theme, ‘Fractional ownership – a lifestyle and investment choice of the future?’ is set to look at the growth in the fractional marketplace to date and the future of the UK and European economy and its impact on overseas property.
"I suggest you put this in your July schedule now if you are interested in the Fractional Ownership business and how it will develop in the coming years."
Eric Gummers, Partner, Head of Leisure and Hospitality, Howard Kennedy
“A unique opportunity to meet the movers and shakers of the fractional industry and to gain a unique insight into the fractional property marketplace."

With more people becoming increasingly ‘cash-rich, but time-poor’ the importance and flexibility of lifestyle choices has never been more crucial.
