Xavier Wiggins, Founder and Organiser of OPPLive, comments,

“Supplying purpose built student accommodation around the world has been and remains big business. Many international property developers and indeed agents have identified the high demand in this sector and offered a wide variety of products in numerous locations worldwide to investors. With the sector worth USD 200 billion, it would be criminal not to hold a dedicated Global Student Accommodation Forum at OPPLive 2013.”
