Real Estate Investment Summit 2019 | Opal Group | 31 March 2019 | Palm Beach County Convention Center , 650 Okeechobee Blvd, West Palm Beach, FL 33401, USA

By nature, commercial real estate is a complicated, capital intensive and relationship oriented business.
From finding and researching a commercial real estate asset, to negotiating its price and raising capital, to operating in accordance with a business plan, to selling the asset and distributing the revenue, each step is critical to the success of the overall picture and each participant is owed a specific fee.

Opal Group’s 2019 Real Estate Investment Summit is centered on the “fourth asset class,” commercial real estate—today a capital market instrument as much as the stock or bond market. Our program agenda will explore the roles of public and private real estate, as well as equity and debt.
Like the asset class itself, the people attending and participating in the Real Estate Investment Forum are vibrant and outward looking.

Who should attend:
• Public pensions
• Corporate pensions
• Endowments and foundations
• Non-discretionary investment consultants
• Law firms
• Private equity real estate managers
• REITs
• Real estate investment funds
• Real estate developers and property managers
• Fee-only investment advisors
