What Industry Leaders Are Saying.


The past GSL Investors Summits have been enriching in terms of expanding my network, learning from others, and exchanging views about our business. I got to know an amazing group of people who are willing to share experiences and are also fun to hang out with. The willingness to share and help each other in our line of business is truly unique!

Duco de Jong, CFO, Student Experience


The GSL Investor Summit is an unmissable event for anyone in the residential living sector. The opportunity to engage with key industry leaders, share insights, and discuss trends in an intimate, collaborative setting is invaluable. The sessions are always thought-provoking and the networking opportunities are second to none. I'm looking forward to seeing how the Investor Summit in Malaga builds on this success.
