The first series was named the Fund Life Cycle, the second was the Bricks & Mortar of Real Estate and finally, the third year was the Investor's Perspective.
The films are available to anyone from our Member firms to watch (you may have to log-in or request a password (link) to view. For full information, including what was covered and details of the expert speakers, click below:
