The program, a presentation of Real Estate Media, the parent company of Real Estate Forum GlobeSt.com, will be held at the Crowne Plaza White Plains Hotel Aug. 15. The event, which drew hundreds of attendees last year, will get under way with opening remarks by Westchester County Executive Andrew Spano.

Michael Desiato, group publisher and editorial director of Real Estate Media, will preside over a Town Hall Meeting that will discuss the state of the Westchester County real estate market. Joining Desiato will be Michael Siegel of CB Richard Ellis, Bruce Berg of Cappelli Enterprises, Inc., David Cohen of GE Real Estate, Craig King, commissioner of development for the City of New Rochelle and Andy Merin of Cushman & Wakefield Capital Markets.

Next will be concurrent presentations that will focus on the many waterfront developments that have been built, are under construction or planned along the Hudson River and Long Island Sound shorelines and a discussion entitled "The Demographics and Developers Behind the Multifamily and Condo Craze." That roundtable program will feature officials from JPI, Noyack Medical Partners, which is redeveloping the former St. Agnes Hospital property in White Plains, and AvalonBay Communities, which is engaged in high-rise ventures in New Rochelle and White Plains, and JP Morgan Asset Management Real Estate Investment Group. The waterfront program will also be a roundtable format and include executives of Cappelli Enterprises Inc., National RE/sources LLC, the villages of Sleepy Hollow and Hastings on Hudson and the environmental group Scenic Hudson.
