We’re all hearing it. Gloom and doom about CRE.
The truth is, there are opportunities for those who are strategic, collaborative, and creative!
And when we all get together in Salt Lake City in April that’s our goal — to provide you with an economic outlook, diverse speakers on a range of topics, and various ways to build your network — so you can be one of the ones to find the opportunities and thrive in 2024 and beyond.
Let’s flip the script together!
For the second year in a row, the Best Ever Conference is teaming up with Verivest to host the best CRE Pitch competition, shark-tank style: it’s the 2024 Verivest Best Ever Pitch Slam. And it’s all going down in Salt Lake City, April 10-12.
If you’re a sponsor (or aspiring one) it’s an opportunity for you to pitch your opportunity or business (deal is not required) to 1,200+ investors looking to place capital LIVE on the main stage and in front of CRE expert judges, including Joe Fairless and Matt Burk.
Two winners will walk away with hundreds of thousands in prize money and bragging rights for life. Get your application in today!
If you’re an investor, attending BEC and the Pitch Slam is a unique chance to learn about deals you won’t find anywhere else.
Bonus: We’ll be releasing a digital directory of all applicants (as well as our sponsors and any operators attending BEC) prior to the conference so attendees can be prepared before they arrive and operators can showcase their unique proposition.
Best Ever Hot Takes🔥
💰 Making the money work in Texas: With the looming multifamily crisis, the amount of buyers is plummeting. Still, the same circumstances that made Texas hot a couple of years ago still exist. Can anyone take advantage?
🏢 Confronting the New Reality: From the impact of AI on CRE to adjusting expectations, The Commercial Real Estate Outlook for 2024 doesn't hold too many surprises, but reminds us that the years ahead will be an adjustment that requires creativity and innovation.
✍️Testing to Invest: Congress is considering changing the accreditation process so investors who are financially savvy, but don't meet the financial criteria, can test into accreditation. This democratization of investing could have many impacts for our communities.
