Why This Matters

We are excited to announce our Charlotte first in-person event since 2019. Please see above for our COVID-19 safety measures. We look forward to welcoming you safely soon!

What You’ll Learn: 

  • How will infrastructure improvement projects, like the five-year expansion of Charlotte Douglas International Airport and the addition of light rail in Charlotte, impact local CRE trends? And how have these major projects been impacted, delayed, or halted?

  • With more millennials moving to Charlotte, what retail opportunities (from breweries to Coliseum Crossing) help make CLT the ultimate live-work-play destination?

  • Urban sprawl: What suburbs just outside of Charlotte are seeing a boom in job growth and development opportunities?

  • What major tenants are moving to Charlotte following the banking boom and finalized merger between BB&T and SunTrust?

  • Return to office: As the population of Charlotte surges, how can developers and city officials work together to ensure that top tenants feel safe, and socially distanced, in their offices?

How You’ll Do More Business: A global pandemic hasn't slowed down interest in Charlotte. Identified by ULI as one of the Top 5 Emerging Cities, the Queen City is now catching the eyes of millennials seeking to leave denser urban centers for greener (but still urban) pastures. Tune into this exciting virtual event to learn what opportunities you can get involved in around the Queen City, top executives’ outlook for 2021, and more.

Who Attends: Owners and operators, public officials, investors, architects, general contractors, and more.

What Does Your Ticket Get You: Your ticket includes multiple hours of content and access to three virtual networking opportunities including direct messaging with other attendees, the ability to request and host video meetings and three-minute video-enabled speed networking to make deals happen.
