Are you a real estate professional working in London or surrounding areas? Perhaps you’re just a keen businessman who is eager to buy property as an investment as part of your portfolio? Either way, the IMN European Real Estate Conference that is taking place in London in October is one real estate conference that you do not want to miss.

As with most real estate conferences, anyone who is vaguely interested in property and real estate should attend this conference. Of all the real estate conferences that are taking place in London this year, the IMN conference is probably the one conference that really discussed property as an investment rather than just the general topics that real estate conferences usually cover. A must see for any Fitzrovia estate agent, in fact central London estate agents from all areas should definitely make an effort to attend this great conference.

Tomorrow is your last chance to submit your papers to the Translating and the Computer Conference that is taking place in London on the 17^th and 18^th of November this year. If you haven’t had a chance to submit your papers then unfortunately you might have missed out on an opportunity to present or have a say in what topics are discussed, but this in no way means that you’ve completely missed out.

The Translating and the Computer conference is in its 33^rd year of operation and is constantly growing in its success. Last year saw a great turnout and even more numbers are expected at The Hatton in London this year.

The National Achievers Conference that is coming to London on the 2^nd – 4^th of July this year is a once in a lifetime opportunity that cannot be missed. Sir Richard Branson, Lord Alan Sugar, Tony Robbins and Kerwin Rae come to the Excel London Exhibition Centre to share the knowledge of their successes, and boy have they been successful.

Sir Richard Branson needs no introduction anyone attending the National Achievers Conference in London in 2011. One of the world’s all time great businessman and a man known for his complete humility and humbleness, Richard Branson started out as a small time businessman and transformed his small mail order record shop into the Virgin Empire that has taken the world by complete storm. Record labels, health clubs and an airline are just 3 of the industries in which virgin is a clear leader. If anyone can teach you about being a non exec Director it’s this guy.

The long-awaited Disney Pixar 3-D animated film Cars 2 opened at theatres in the US and Canada this past weekend. The first Cars feature was released in 2006 and received great acclaim from critics. Disney’s Cars 2 on the other hand has not been received as favourably, despite its excellent tickets sales.

Joseph Calleja, the singer of many smash hit albums and known as the Maltese tenor has very recently become Germany’s top recording artist. This is quite the achievement as it is one of the first times that a Maltese singer has managed to place himself in the running to become an international star with the type of appeal of the Four Tenors. He is a thirty-three year old artist who sings in English, Italian and French in order to expand his repertoire. Over the past years, he has sung many of these at prestigious halls such as the Metropolitan Opera in New York and the Royal Opera House in London where he had the distinctive pleasure of singing with Placido Domingo.

The glitter of Hollywood sees many stars raise and fall as they attempt to become the richest actors in the world. Yet can any of them beat the rap stars of Hollywood who are seemingly indestructible when it comes to buying power?

Whether you are a lover of art or simply appreciate the delicate strokes of a paintbrush or the way the artist has captured movement and light in the artwork, a visit to the new art gallery that will be opening soon in Fitzrovia is a must.

Fitzrovia is well known as being the dynamic art gallery district in London, a description that is often used by a Fitrovia estate agent when describing the area.. The gallery will be founded by Ian Rosenfeld and Dario Porcini who are the directors of the Galleria Napoli Nobilissima in Italy. Fitzrovia’s new gallery will be named the Rosenfeld Porcini Gallery and its inaugural exhibition is entitled “The Poetics of Silence’ and will be the first UK exhibition by the Spanish artist Enrique Brinkmann. Brinkmann’s career spans half a century and the exhibition will showcase 40 of his incredible works. Many of the pieces that will be on display in the new art gallery are pieces from the artist’s personal collection.

Ohio is a town on the move and its economy is about to be bolstered by the inclusion of two exciting movies which will soon be shot on location. A film shoot needs two things, good looking background and inexpensive locations and Ohio has both of these! The first movie is called “Over the Wall” and stars the aging Kim Basinger who is managing to retain her natural Hollywood charm throughout the years; it films in parts of Ohio called Mercer, Stark and Darke. The second film is called “Old Fashioned” and will be shot in Tuscarawas County. The state is loving this development of course and very generous tax credits have been doled out for the lucky parties involved.
