The 38th Annual Crocker Symposium on Real Estate Law and Business
The economy is facing unprecedented challenges, and the environmental and financial regulatory systems intended to support it are going through equally profound changes. The impact on the real estate industry has been particularly acute. And, with new leadership in Washington, D.C. and myriad state and local jurisdictions, proposed legislation affecting the real estate industry is surfacing daily and a new real estate paradigm is evolving rapidly.
It is through the collective efforts of leaders from the business, legal, and public service communities that this new real estate paradigm will be built. The Benjamin S. Crocker Symposium 2009 will bring together our community’s real estate industry leaders, including attorneys, accountants, developers, bankers, academics, government representatives, and property owners, for an extraordinary day of networking, thought leadership, discussion, and analysis of the latest developments in the field to facilitate the efforts of those leaders as they shape the future of real estate in Southern California and beyond.
