U.S. and CALIFORNIA REAL ESTATE
IN A CHANGING WORLD

This is the theme for this year's full-day conference. Leading experts will share their ideas about the evolving complexities of today's real estate business and how the industry will be affected by the challenges of an ever-changing economy. Ample time is allotted for questions and answers to provide attendees the opportunity to exchange ideas with some of the most knowledgeable authorities on the economy, real estate, technology and finance.
This year, we are planning sessions on these timely and important topics:


• The Residential Sector: Do Housing Prices Defy Gravity?

• The Economic Forecast: Is the U.S. Economic Growth Sustainable?

• Investment Opportunities: Strategies for Uncertain Times

• The Impact of Retiring Baby Boomers on Real Estate and the Economy

• REIT's: The Underlying Drivers

• Infill Building in California

 

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND
This full day program of individual presentations examines current trends and critical issues in the real estate market, and particularly in California. National and local industry leaders will present their ideas and respond to questions from the audience. Full lunch and refreshment breaks - included in the registration fee - will provide ample time for networking with colleagues and presenters. Industry leaders and business professionals - real estate entrepreneurs, brokers, financiers, investors, attorneys, accountants, developers, and press - contribute to make this a great educational and networking opportunity.
