Green Pearl Events to hold Brooklyn Real Estate Summit - June 16

According to GreenPearl Events, the 2nd Annual Brooklyn Real Estate Summit will be held June 16th at St. Francis College. According to Ofer Cohen of TerraCRG, over $1 billion in area real estate changed hands last year and all indicators point to this year being a bigger year than 2010. So, after much success with the 2010 Brooklyn Real Estate Summit, which brought together over 500 principals in real estate, GreenPearl Events has re-focused this year's conference on the recovery of today's real estate market. Over 40 principal speakers, networking functions and a post-conference reception are some of the highlights balanced with eight timely discussions covering new challenges and opportunities which exist with office, retail, hotel, and industrial properties in Brooklyn. Speakers include: Andrew Barrocas, CEO, The Real Estate Group New York; David Behin, Partner, The Developers Group / The Real Estate Group New York; Joe Chan, president, Downtown Brooklyn Partnership; David Maundrell, president, aptsandlofts.com; Susan Pollock, senior VP, CPC Resources; Mark Schacknies, principal, Walnut Street Development; David Von Spreckelsen, senior VP, Toll Brothers; and Gregg Winter, founder & managing partner, W Financial Fund, LP and Winter & Company Commercial Real Estate Finance, among others. Registration fees for the summit are $245 in advance and $295 onsite. Group discounts are available and press registration is complimentary. To qualify for the advanced registration fee, you must register by June 9. Continuing education credits are available through the Real Estate Education Center (REEDC).
