LOS ANGELES-There was cautious optimism in the air at the 2013 NAIOP I.con: The Industrial Conference, which began yesterday at the Omni Hotel here.
Whether you heard caution or optimism, though, depended on which moments of any particular panel you caught. Because most of the presenters, perhaps mindful that the traumas of the Great Recession aren't too far in the rear-view mirror and that the recovery is still uncertain, seemed to veer between the two extremes.
Still, the sentiment of the day among the 400 attendees was feeling good, and most in attendance seemed to believe that things in the industrial sector are getting better, even as new challenges present themselves on a daily basis.
