Networking Break
Who, What, Where: The Ins & Outs of Attracting and Retaining Retail Tenants
Market fundamentals highly dictate leasing and tenant activity in the retail space. With increased concessions and adjusted asking rents, landlords are pushing back against the national slowdown and positioning their properties to entice retailers back to the market. NY’s most active retail brokers, owners, developers and users will discuss how tenants are influencing both the transformation and leasing of space, the locations and amenities that tenants are demanding, and more.
Shaping the Skyline: Insights from Industry Leaders
The most active and influential CRE players have created and shaped the NY skyline. Hear from these industry leaders as they discuss what is driving demand and creating opportunities, as well as the creative projects, and up-and-coming locations on the horizon.
Next Generation Award Presentation
Across the country, Connect Media’s Next Generation Awards recognized 25 young leaders, chosen from more than 450 nominations from all sectors of the commercial real estate industry. We chose five young leaders from NY who are already making big contributions to our industry and are likely to be influential for a long time — because of their talent, drive and fresh ideas. We are pleased to present these NY winners their awards.
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!”
