NEW YORK CITY-If there are problems in the industrial sector of commercial real estate, then they weren't apparent at the recent SIOR Spring World Conference earlier this month in Indian Wells, CA. A partnership between SIOR and GlobeSt.com called SIOR LIVE put us right in the middle of it.

For two weeks before the show, we interviewed key members of the organization to anticipate what to expect at the Spring World Conference and what is happening in the market. For the most part, the message was one of optimism.

As part of SIOR LIVE, we conducted video interviews with several top-level executives from around the country. You can view the full list of videos here. Some of them included:

• Terry Smith, SIOR's president, who spoke about, how industrial and office are doing well despite economic uncertainty.
• Mike Hillis, the organiztion's incoming presdient, who spoke about growth in Mexico and his home market Las Vegas.
• SIOR Vice President Angela West, who talked about how the industry is faring market by market.

We also covered the educational sessions offered during the conference. In fact, GlobeSt.com Editor John Salustri gave a spirited keynote speech on how politicians aren't all that interested in the commercial real estate industry and only care about themselves.
