Held for the first time in 1992, AREUEA's annual International Conference over the years has become the leading conference to address global developments in international topics that affect real estate and urban economics. AREUEA membership now include individuals and libraries from over 45 countries around the world.

General Conference Information
The American Real Estate and Urban Economics Association (AREUEA) is pleased to announce the International Conference to be organized by Henley Business School, University of Reading and held for the very first time in the UK and more precisely in Reading (England) between Wednesday 9th and Friday 11th July 2014 (with optional tour to Windsor Castle on Saturday 12 July)
Alongside the academic rigour and hence the benefit of attending the conference, the Programme is also intended to allow you to have a great experience in “English style”.
We have also arranged special rates with the hotel in case you decide to stay longer to visit other sites of English heritage (quite a few in the area!) and to enjoy a relaxing break in the English countryside. Alternatively, you may also want to visit London, which is only 25 minutes by train.
The highlights of social events are visits in a local brewery and winery with beer and wine tasting and a walking tour of Oxford with the final dinner in the spectacular Rhodes House. ... as well as a surprise prepared for you during the Thursday night dinner with view on the River Thames.
We look forward to seeing you in Reading!

Several important local attractions are within a 30 minute journey from the venue: Windsor Castle (one of the Queen’s main residences), Ascot Racecourse (probably the most famous in the UK) and Reading Abbey (founded by king Henry I in 1121).
