This conference aims to provide education and information on real estate and real assets to the key decision makers and other representatives of the nation's largest pension, endowment and foundation funds. Discussions will focus on reproducible assets such as farmland, buildings or machinery, and irreproducible assets such as land, a mine, or a work of art. The event will offer a chance for investors and managers to exchange ideas and to learn from other delegates and presenters within this niche investment community. Institutional investors will come from across the country not just to network but also simply to learn from the nation's leading industry professionals, government officials, professors, financial journalists and more.
