CREW 2013 Shifting Gears
April 19th, CenturyLink Center,
Omaha, Nebraska
CREW 2013 WILL ENHANCE YOUR INCOME IN
THE COMING YEARS!!!
Why do I make that statement? Because the 25 member CREW Committee has worked diligently since September to create CREW 2013 which is FOCUSED on presenting subjects that will provide you information from which the “deal flow” for all of us will accelerate.
The CREW Committee has selected 13 “need for speed” hot
topics ranging from senior living, land pricing, property tax, farm values to
multi-family which will enlighten you quickly on these subjects.
OUR WORLD HAS CHANGED AND IS CONTINUING TO DO SO
For the first time in CREW’s 24-year history, we have
included a session at 9:00 a.m. that will be devoted to bridging the gap
between real estate and information technology. Your real estate practice
is continuing to be impacted by the economic development, design, site
selection and construction of data centers and a superb panel of professionals
in this area has been assembled by Jeff Wyatt from Colliers International to
explain this relationship.
LAW UPDATE
At 10:00 a.m. a select law panel chaired by Rochelle Mullen of Cline Williams will discuss legal issues that affect your practice directly and will enlighten you on issues that you will encounter in your day to day work.
RESIDENTIAL UPDATE
It is a given that the growth and success of residential begins and is followed by the growth and success of commercial. Leslie Peterson from Lamp Rynearson has assembled an outstanding panel of residential real estate experts who will provide insight into the patterns of residential growth that are being established for the coming years.
POLITICS: WHO WILL BE OUR NEW MAYOR
There is little doubt that the leadership of our community
is impacted by the person who occupies the Mayor’s office. All five
mayoral candidates have accepted CREW’s invitation to speak before you about
commercial real estate and development topics that effect all of us. Jeff
Beals, World Group and renowned author will moderate a question and answer
discussion between the two mayoral finalists. The CREW Committee is
preparing four or five questions that relate directly to our industry which
will be asked of each candidate.
BREAKOUT SESSIONS
Our breakout sessions this year include “Accelerating the
Retail Experience through Next Generation Tactics” presented by Mary Ann
O’Brien, OBI Creative, and Rod Yates, OTB Destination. Also, the TACK
Architects and All Makes Office Equipment chief office designer will discuss
the impact of the recession and the new thinking going on with respect to office
size and configuration. For the younger members in our industry, we are
introducing a session on “Path to Success” which is a panel of young
professionals who will share how they build and organize their tool kit for
success. They will also share their ideas on how best to accelerate your
careers. CREW has invited students from UNO Real Estate Department and
the Creighton and Nebraska Law Schools to attend CREW and particularly this
session.
THE IMPACT OF SPORTS AND CONVENTION AREAS “TOUR de
NEBRASKA”
Sports arenas and convention centers have become substantial
“drivers” of commercial real estate development. Hear from the leaders of
Nebraska’s sports and convention facilities as they explain the development
opportunities being derived from these facilities.
BLOCKBUSTER KEYNOTE
CLOSING SESSION
Barry Zoob, Colliers International, has done an amazing job
of obtaining the top officers from Tenaska, TD Ameritrade, Kiewit Building
Group and UNMC Physicians who will discuss their view of the current economy,
their expectations for the near and longer term and how their views relate to
job creation and the growth of commercial real estate.
