Opening Remarks
2018: The Year of the Entity-Level Deal
Why are consolidations in the industrial space making this year’s headlines? With limited portfolios trading, and many large companies in holding cycles, are buyers turning to purchase companies rather than portfolios?
Networking Break
Growing Development & Changing Technology
As the industrial market continues to grow, so does the development pipeline. Is older product functionally obsolete, or how can it be redeveloped to meet today's user demand? How is technology changing the functionality of distribution centers and where do multi-story buildings come into play?
Expediting Orders! E-commerce at the Intersection of Industrial & Retail
With e-commerce companies looking to grow same-day delivery, last mile distribution centers continue to steer the industry in a new direction. What are the consumer-level demand drivers that are reshaping the industry? What role is retail playing in the industrial space and what can we expect in 2018 and moving forward?
Cocktail Reception
In Terms of Networking… it one of the best events!
“I’ve received several inquiries from people who I met at Connect LA who want to do business. It was one of the best events, in terms of really networking, that I’ve been to in my 20 year career”
Great Networking Opportunity That Is Fun And Energized!
“We’ve been really pleased with the format and content that the Connect Conferences have created. They do a great job bringing in speakers that provide relevant information that helps educate and inform our commercial real estate community.”
Connect brought together some of the industry’s most prominent leaders.
“It was a pleasure to sit amongst them and discuss some of the main trends emerging along with the challenges we are all facing. The event was well thought-out and I look forward to future ones with Connect Media.”
The Connect Media team has done a phenomenal job!
“Particularly at organizing and coordinating their events. I found that the Connect LA event I spoke at earlier this year was extremely beneficial and educational. They really know how to throw a great conference and connect this industry!”
We can answer any questions you have or provide information you need to become a sponsor, or to help plan your attendance at any of our upcoming events.
