Patrick McFall

Mayor

Loveland

Patrick McFall, a retired Marine Corps Master Sergeant, has called Loveland home since 1988 after being stationed in Northern Colorado and connecting deeply with the community. After 22 years of military service, he built a successful second career in leadership and information technology, serving in roles ranging from systems analyst to Chief Information Officer. Deeply committed to public service, Patrick served on the Loveland Planning Commission from 2014 to 2021, including three years as Chairman. He was elected to the Loveland City Council in November 2021 and elected Mayor in November 2025.

Dale Hall

Mayor

Greeley

Mayor Dale Hall is a lifelong Weld County resident with decades of leadership experience in public service and the private sector. Elected Mayor of Greeley in 2025, he is passionate about expanding housing opportunities for all residents and fostering business growth that strengthens Greeley’s economy and quality of life. 

Before serving as mayor, Hall represented northwest Greeley as the Ward IV councilmember for seven years and served as Mayor Pro Tem. His public service also includes a term as a Weld County Commissioner and Colorado State Representative for House District 48, as well as service in the U.S. Army. 

In addition to his government experience, Hall has more than 35 years in property management and over 30 years as a financial advisor. He holds an Associate of Arts in Criminal Justice and is serving as Chair of the Poudre River Trail Board. 

Outside his civic duties, he enjoys photography, traveling, reading and cooking – a newfound hobby his wife appreciates. 

William Karspeck

Mayor

Town of Berthoud

William Karspeck grew up in Berthoud and as a result has a very personal tie to the Town and its future. He finds the easy access to uncrowded outdoor recreation is unparalleled in the entire Front Range and represents one of the primary benefits of living in Berthoud. William also finds the modest size of Berthoud fosters close relationships among residents and those who do business here. His parents live in the area and are active in the community. The atmosphere of civic service was a consistent element in his family life. This has led to his belief that local government can have great impact and directly improve people's lives. William is guided by Wendell Berry's quote "We do not inherit the world from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children." William holds a Bachelor's in Communications Studies from Colorado State University and finds that his experience working in local government has allowed him to interact with a variety of departments, giving him insight on how a city runs. He plans to bring this experience to his time as Trustee.

Gino Campana is a father, coach, builder, entrepreneur, and first generation American who has lived the American Dream.

Growing up in Fort Collins, he worked alongside his father, a stonemason.

When starting his own venture as a builder nearly 30 years ago, he began with purchasing and fixing up a small house then selling it– then bought his next house and did it again. Now, he builds world-class large multifamily projects and commercial and residential developments. His company, Bellisimo, is an industry leader in innovative sustainable communities.

Under the leadership of Gino, Bellisimo has built projects across Northern Colorado and helped reimagine neighborhoods with an emphasis on healthy lifestyle and accessible local agriculture. Gino’s passion for hospitality and community have also come to fruition at the award-winning Jessup Farm Artisan Village.

Gino has served on numerous local boards, including the Fort Collins planning and zoning board. As a member of the Fort Collins City Council, Gino leaned on his business experience to oversee a $700 million budget and helped to reduce the city’s debt by over 36% in four years by renegotiating debt and cutting waste.

Gino has built his American Dream brick by brick, but the foundation of his life rests firmly with his wife, Michele, and their four children: Alexandra, Ariella, Maurizio, and Milana.

WHY THIS MATTERS

What You'll Learn:

  • Where industrial and retail capital is flowing in Northern Colorado in 2026, which submarkets are outperforming, and what investors are paying — and passing on — in the current environment.

  • How Weld County's economic diversification from agriculture to logistics, healthcare, and manufacturing is reshaping long-term investment underwriting and tenant demand across the I-25 corridor.

  • How Northern Colorado stacks up against competing Mountain West markets for institutional and private capital allocation — and what objections owners need to be ready to answer.

  • What it actually takes to move a project through entitlements in Fort Collins, Greeley, Loveland, Windsor, and the region's fastest-growing corridor communities — and why the answer is different in every city.

  • How water rights, construction costs, and labor constraints are shaping pro formas, project timelines, and the gap between what developers want to build and what currently pencils.

  • Which workforce and attainable housing models are proving out in Northern Colorado — and how developers are structuring projects to hit price points while still getting them financed and built.

How You'll Do More Business: Northern Colorado is one of the Mountain West's most consistently growing commercial real estate markets — and the decisions made in 2026 will define the next decade of development across Fort Collins, Greeley, Loveland, Windsor, and the communities reshaping the I-25 corridor. This event puts you in the room with the owners, developers, investors, lenders, architects, contractors, and public-sector leaders actively moving the market. Whether you're seeking capital, evaluating new development sites, or looking to expand your presence in the region, this is where the conversations that lead to deals begin.

Who You'll Network With: Owners, developers, investors, lenders, multifamily operators, industrial and logistics specialists, architects, general contractors, land use attorneys, brokers, and economic development officials shaping commercial real estate across Fort Collins, Greeley, Loveland, Windsor, Johnstown, Firestone, and all of Northern Colorado.
