LAS VEGAS—GlobeSt.com was in attendance last night for the opening reception of the CREW Network Convention here in Las Vegas where the energy was upbeat and the chatter highlighted that relationships matter.
More than 700 commercial real estate leaders gathered from all around the globe this week for deal making, business networking, industry education and leadership development. This year's event was a hybrid event, providing the opportunity to join in-person at The Mirage in Las Vegas or virtually via the digital convention platform.
Kicking off the event was a morning keynote session, where Linda Alvarado, president and chief executive officer of Denver-based Alvarado Construction Inc. talked about her "unplanned career" in construction. Alvarado worked in construction as a laborer for a landscape company in college. She then worked as an on-site contract administrator for a commercial development company on large planned-use projects.
