Special E-Event: Private renting in a time of crisis
We are very pleased to announce a special e-conference entitled ‘Private renting in a time of crisis‘ on Thursday 18th June 2020. It is a timely opportunity to reflect on the issues that have dominated the PRS literature to date, the PRS in the context of Covid-19, and what the implications of these are for the future.
We have an excellent line up of speakers already confirmed, with more to announce in due course.
For our e-event, we thought we would do something different, we have asked all speakers to pre-record their papers/sessions to enable attendees to watch and listen at their own pace and provide the opportunity for future engagement with the research.
We will further have two live sessions (tbc) where you will be able to ask questions and engage in friendly discussion with the speakers.
