NEW YORK CITY-The quick-paced net lease environment will get an event tailor made for industry professionals in that marketplace. RealShare Net Lease, which is being held on Tues., April 25 at the Westin New York at Times Square, is a day-long conference featuring educational and networking opportunities.

New to the agenda this year is "Pardon the Interruption--RealShare Net Lease-style." This is modeled after the ESPN program "Pardon the Interruption" and will feature Ethan Nessen and Kyle Gore. "RealShare Net Lease strives to innovate with its agenda, and that's exactly what 'Pardon the Interruption' will do," notes Richard Kelley, director of the RealShare conference series. "In Ethan Nessen and Kyle Gore we have two of the smartest and outspoken individuals in the business and I can tell you the audience is in for a real treat. No subject will be off-limits."

The day will get started with opening remarks delivered by Jonathan A. Schein, president & CEO of Real Estate Media, which is producing the event. REM is the publisher of Real Estate Forum and GlobeSt.com. More than 300 attendees are expected at the event this year.

First up will be the Town Hall Meeting which will examine the current state of the net lease market. In a frank, no-holds-barred discussion, panelists will discuss whether the market's current pricing and investor demand are sustainable, and who could suffer if values don't hold and interest rates rise significantly. Gerald Levin will serve as moderator. Panelists will include Michael Ashner, Gordon DuGan, Will Eglin, Bernard Haddigan, Laurie Hawkes and Bruce MacDonald.

In concurrent sessions, issues such as the sale-leaseback environment and the yield curve and 1031 exchanges will be addressed. There will also be a special presentation on capital markets for the net lease sector as well as niche roundtable discussions on such topics as zero cash flow deals, insurance and new accounting rules. The day's final educational offering will ask if tenant-in-common transactions are offering growing competition in the 1031 world.

"Having our attendees come out of RealShare Net Lease with a deal or strong lead is always our goal, and we are going to try and make that happen through our "Capital Meets Properties Deal Corral" during our cocktail reception," adds Kelley. "We encourage buyers and sellers and capital providers to bring their listings and term sheets because the networking will be high-level and at its peak during the reception."
