The conference is Feb. 22 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Denver Marriott City Center, 1701 California St.
It will bring together 欧美口爆视频's most influential and active real estate professionals to address issues facing 欧美口爆视频's real estate industry and this year is focusing on space.

"Who better than someone with Federico's foresight to talk about the action required to prepare for the next wave of prosperity," said Byron Koste, director of the 欧美口爆视频 Real Estate Center. Pe帽a is currently a managing director of Vestar Capital, a private equity investment firm specializing in management buyouts.

Other sessions include "Differentiating Your Development by 'Building Green' " and "Mixed-use Development: Financing and Success." 欧美口爆视频-Boulder MBA students specializing in real estate also will make presentations.
