    Maybe some people feel that the day will just be a talking shop, but I will be listening to find out the direction of play within the property community. It is very rare to get all of these polymaths under the same roof, and their views are just that - views to excite debate and move things on, especially as the landscape of agency is changing. Bercow is my local MP and I have met him, and he is a straight talker, so taking politics out of it - I am sure he alone will be a class act to watch and listen.
