Complimentary Live, Interactive CE Virtual Forums

March 21-24, 2022

A unique event designed exclusively for CRE executives and investors paneled by leading authorities and other subject matter experts

The commercial real estate market has turned a corner, thanks to a recovering economy and increasing demand in virtually all asset classes. Nearly every segment of the industry is now in the midst of a robust recovery from pandemic-led shutdowns. And some segments — such as industrial and multifamily — are now exceeding their pre-pandemic peaks.

And what are the new private investment structures that will help fuel what many now foresee as a record year for commercial real estate investment?

Join us and listen in as thought-leaders in commercial real estate investment explain how they’re successfully approaching the market in 2022.
