Conference Attendees Network, Get Advice

WASHINGTON, DC-Uncertainty in the debt markets plus a shaky economy will be on the minds of attendees at this RealShare event.

By Erika Morphy | Updated on February 18, 2008

WASHINGTON, DC-Real Estate Media will be hosting its sixth annual RealShare Washington, DC conference later this month at the city’s Grand Hyatt Hotel. There are some 500 to 600 people registered for the event, which is traditionally one of the biggest in the RealShare series, says Richard Kelley, executive director of the RealShare Conference Series. Being held on Feb. 27, the event will start with a 7:30 a.m. breakfast and end with a luncheon set up for networking.

Networking, in fact, is a key draw for RealShare conferences–and this year more so than ever, Kelley tells GlobeSt.com. “Turnout is strong this year, I believe, because the market is so bad. People want to network, talk with others in the industry, source new business, identify new capital sources.” Talking with seasoned professionals that have seen more than one credit cycle is another draw, especially for newcomers to the industry, he adds.

Kelley notes RealShare recruited Edward Padilla, CEO of NorthMarq Capital, to participate this year. “Who better to explain what is happening in the market than the head of a financial intermediary like NorthMarq.” Other highlights in the agenda, he says, include Michael Glosserman, co-managing partner of the JBG Cos., and Victor MacFarlane, CEO of San Francisco’s MacFarlane Partners–which has built a huge presence in the DC market–in a session called “Up Close with JBG & MacFarlane.”
