Plans are underway for 2017 NYSCAR Conference by Brian DiNardo

Brian DiNardo, NYSCAR

The annual conference will be held this year June 5-7, 2017 at the Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona, N.Y. Chair Guy Blake, CCIM and the planning committee held their initial meeting in December to start planning the events for the 16^th Annual NYS Commercial Real Estate Conference, sponsored by the New York State Commercial Association of Realtors, CCIM and the Society of Exchange Counselors.

CCIM will sponsor a full day program on June 5, on the topic of syndication. The Marketing Investment session will be held on June 6, along with Round Table discussions, and June 7 will feature several continuing education classes on a variety of topics. Preliminary plans include presenting a full day course on counseling, a four-hour course that will qualify for meeting the requirements for the agency and fair housing requirements to renew your real estate license and a three hour Business Valuation class.

Mark your calendar and save the dates!  Please watch for further details as we move forward with the planning.  If you know of someone who would benefit by becoming a conference sponsor, please have them contact Ali Mann ([email protected]) or Sherry Marr ([email protected]).  We look forward to seeing you at the conference!
