NEW YORK CITY-RealShare Conferences is expanding its platform with a hospitality-focused event set to take place April 11 at the Grand Hyatt New York. Real Estate Media has paired with HREC Investment Advisors to create the Hotel Investment & Finance Summit.
“It’s a unique event for the marketplace because hotel investors and developers will have ready access to those dealmakers that finance and provide debt and equity for the deals,” says Jason Young, RealShare conference producer. “Our aim is to create the perfect venue in which these two parties can meet up, talk, trade cards and get deals started, while having a chance to hear some of the leading dealmakers forecast the market during a series of panel sessions.”
The event begins at 8:25 a.m. with opening remarks from Michael Desiato, group publisher and editorial director of Real Estate Media, and Geoff Davis, president of HREC. Steve Mendell, EVP of HEI Hotels & Resorts, will give the keynote address sharing with attendees his thoughts on today’s hotel investment and finance climate as well as his predictions for the year ahead.
