WHY YOU CAN'T MISS THIS
What You’ll Learn:
Where the smart money is moving right now, straight from the investor behind a brand-new $350M distressed-office fund and the developer who just bought 7% of downtown Denver for pennies on the dollar. If you want to know what a building selling below replacement cost actually looks like before your competitors do, this is the room.
What Denver's $315M office-to-housing conversion means for your next deal, from the team behind the largest project of its kind in the city: what's actually leasing, what's converting, and where the next discounted tower is likely to sit.
Why capital is flowing back into Denver, from a 35-year-old local giant's rebrand into a tech-enabled investment platform to the tax and fund strategy separating the deals that pencil from the ones that don't in 2026's rate environment.
How AI is already paying for itself on Denver job sites, with real numbers from an AI-powered jobsite camera platform and a developer building AI straight into leadership decisions, plus how the city's new permitting office (now closing 90%+ of reviews on time) is cutting months off your timeline and your carrying costs.
Where the next 1,500 acres of developable land are opening up, direct from the executive running Denver International Airport's Colorado Aerotropolis, one of the largest land plays in the region.
What Denver looks like in 2036, and how to position yourself now, from the city planner who led the zoning rewrite and the developers, investors, and civic leaders already deciding what gets built next.
How You’ll Do More Business: Hear directly from Denver’s leading developers, investors, city leaders, and technology innovators about how they are navigating today’s market challenges while identifying growth opportunities. Learn how companies are repositioning assets, unlocking development sites, leveraging emerging technologies, and collaborating with public and private partners to move projects forward. Walk away with actionable insights on where Denver’s market is headed, which submarkets and projects are attracting capital, and how industry leaders are preparing for the next cycle of development across the Mile High City.
Who You’ll Network With: Developers and investors from Related, Hillpointe, and Majestic Realty. Capital and lending from Banc of California, Wells Fargo, U.S. Bank, and Ares Management. Brokers from JLL and Pinnacle Real Estate Advisors. Architects and engineers from Gensler, HDR, Arup, and EV Studio. Builders from Swinerton, Holder Construction, and Brinkmann Constructors. City and civic leaders from Denver International Airport, the Downtown Denver Partnership, and DURA. These are the people deciding what gets built in Denver next, all in one room.
