"Predictions are difficult, especially ones about the future"

Whether or not Yogi Berra actually said that, REIAC is going to put its best foot forward and forecast the upcoming year, with the help of those whose careers and investments depend on clarity of the risks ahead.

It’s been an up-ended second half of 2022; although this cycle has been on a thankfully profitable 12-year run, rapid rate hikes and uncertainty abound as we coast through the holidays. With another calendar year arriving, how do we plan our investment, lending, management and development businesses? 

REIAC approaches the answers from two angles: 

Our economist presenters reach deep into the country’s economic data, sifting through the noise to focus on the most relevant metrics. Their expert analysis will reveal which way is up, and how to get there.

In addition, our “practitioners” see the upcoming year based on information readily at hand; signals and indications from their multifamily and industrial portfolios as a proxy of economic health give them a unique vantage point - where to turn next, and what to avoid.

As in the past, we will challenge attendees to test their views against our guest experts via real-time wireless polling technology. Attendees will vote their perceptions, then our panel will support or challenge these perceptions, adding interesting color and strong expertise. After the program, we will circulate a link to the questions and the audience’s voting results for your further consideration.

So, join REIAC as we turn the page to 2023, and start our year right, with a healthy breakfast and plenty of caffeine! 

Our panel discussion will deliver the insights and wisdom of:

• KC Conway, CCIM, CRE, MAI | Commercial Real Estate Economist and Futurist
• David Sherer | Co-Founder and Co-CEO, Origin Investments
• Amy Curry | Partner and Chief Strategy Officer, Dermody Properties
• Chris DeCoufle | Managing Director National Retail Capital Markets, CBRE

We thank our generous sponsors for their ongoing support: Crown Advisors, Dentons, LightBox EDR and Stewart Title - Commercial Services.

Best Regards,
