Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) - Commercial Real Estate Finance/Multifamily Housing Convention & Expo 2010

The last year has produced a business climate with challenges like none seen in recent history, and industry predictors assure us that more change is coming. The industry continues to work toward the return of the capital markets while managing with severely limited liquidity. Across all sectors of the economy, businesses are learning to do more with fewer resources under heightened scrutiny and ever-increasing calls for transparency.

Clearly, the commercial/multifamily finance industry has entered a new climate in which new strategies are being developed in order to take advantage of new opportunities.

By attending the largest commercial real estate finance industry convention, attendees will have an opportunity to network with colleagues from across the industry and participate in dynamic sessions led by industry leaders guaranteeing the most up-to-date information and research on commercial real estate trends.

William O'Connor is the moderator and he and John Bricker will speak on the subject of "Options for Stressed and Distressed CMBS in the Current Market." Other speakers include Michael Lesser, Managing Director, Eastdil Secured, LLC, Bruce Nelson, Principal, Situs Realty Services, Inc., Mark Weibel, Partner, Fulbright & Jaworski LLP and Kevin C. Donahue, Senior Vice President, PNC Real Estate/Midland Loan Services, Inc.
