Real Estate Media Acquires Real Estate Conference Group

NEW YORK CITY-Real Estate Media Inc., the publisher of GlobeSt.com, Real Estate Forum Magazine and a list of other online and print publications, has acquired the Real Estate Conference Group, a privately held company based in Los Angeles. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

The acquisition beefs up the firm’s highly successful RealShare Conference Series, which currently produces 14 regional and national events targeted to commercial real estate professionals in locations throughout the US. Three of these are in California.

RECG was founded by Martin S. and Barbara R. Stolzoff in 1985, and Stolzoff will continue to serve as a consultant to the company after the acquisition. RECG’s semi-annual meetings are widely regarded as the premier professional events in the state, attracting regional and national leaders from all sectors of the industry. The company has produced more than 40 conferences, with almost 40,000 attendees, including the first UCLA Real Estate Forecast and the first conference for USC’s Lusk Center for Real Estate. The Real Estate 2005 conference, to be held in February, will feature a keynote address by Michael Pralle, president and CEO of GE Real Estate.
