This year's panels represented:
  • Valuation / Consulting
  • Property Management / Asset Management
  • REIT/Institutional Investment
  • Finance
  • Development / Project Management   
  • Corporate Real Estate

The award luncheon will be at the Union League Club on May 15 with keynote speaker Bob White, Founder and President of Real Capital Analytics Inc.  Proceeds from the event will fund the Susanne Ethridge Cannon Endowed Scholarship.  Thanks to the many sponsors, the event has raised over $190,000 to date.
