“With Trends Day held in Q1 and with the entire program focused on emerging and future trends, it will be the first look at what to expect in real estate for the year and beyond,” said Trends Day 2023 Chair Tammy Carr, Director of Business Development with Brinkmann Constructors. “We tackle all commercial product types. Besides the incredible education and economic forecast, the networking just can’t be beat. Trends Day is the place to be.”
The keynote speaker for Trends Day 2023 is history-making polar explorer Alison Levine. Her topic is “Rise Up: Finding Strength and Conquering Challenges in Tough Times.” Levine will recount some of the most epic survival stories of all time: from a teenage holocaust survivor who outsmarted the Nazis (who happens to be a family member) to famed Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton.
