Is There Light at the End of the Tunnel?
AACRE 2009 Spring Symposium: Today's Economy and the Challenges & Opportunities Ahead; Keynote by Michael Dukakis
Symposium Date: Friday, April 24, 2009
The economic tunnel has seemed rather dark of late — is there light at the end? The short answer is yes. But questions remain about when, where, and how it will come, and specifically how the economy and the stimulus will affect jobs and capital.
On Friday April 24, some of the most respected minds in real estate will gather at MIT to shine a light on the future of this turbulent market.
Keynote speaker Michael Dukakis, former governor of Massachusetts, will join leading researchers, economists, and industry practitioners to tackle the question everyone is asking. This half-day symposium is sponsored by the MIT Alumni Association of the Center for Real Estate (AACRE) in partnership with the Urban Land Institute of Boston (ULI-Boston).
Save the date -- don't miss this chance to see the light!
