“I personally am very pleased to act as co-chair of this year’s event, having participated in many of the organization’s conferences over the last several years,” says Philip White, president and chief executive officer, Sotheby’s International Realty Affiliates LLC. “This is an exciting time for the luxury real estate industry, as we continue to see many significant sales and listings globally, so the focus on the high-end sector is very timely.
