The GSL Investor Summit London is a great opportunity to engage with leading industry players and gain valuable insight into where our business could be in the next 5 to 10 years.

Hans Stenseng, COO, Bo Coliving


I’ve been attending the GSL Investor Summit for as long as I can remember. Over the past five years in particular, the team has been incredibly innovative in how they deliver the conferences. The breakout sessions, especially the one I attend, are consistently valuable and provide great insight into the industry.

Seb Horst, Investment Director, Host.


Student housing is about more than just investment — it’s about doing the right thing. It’s about giving the next generation the best possible experience and bringing together people who share that mindset. These events matter because they create space to connect, share insights, and make better decisions for the wider community.

Jonathan Turnbull, Managing Director, Head of Canada, Harrison Street
