Why attend
One Day to Gain Insights for a Year
The Boulder Valley Real Estate Conference is BizWest’s premier real estate event of the year: comprehensive analysis of residential and commercial trends, data and key market segments, featuring many local real estate experts and panel discussion with the region’s top Realtors, with perspective on mortgage rates, residential trends and commercial activity. From the residential and commercial forecasts to the panels that follow, the day is built to prepare you for what lies ahead.
The program is for you if you want to learn about key trends in the real estate sector, need to know how a changing market will affect your business and team, and benefit from hearing directly from experts in the field.
The program
Forecasts, Panels and a Keynote on Demographic Trends
The day opens with the Residential Forecast and the Commercial Outlook, then splits into concurrent panels on the forces shaping the Boulder Valley: how tax policy affects the tech sector, merger trends in residential real estate, and the Sundance Film Festival’s impact on commercial and residential markets. Colorado’s new State Demographer, Neal Marquez, will explain how demographic shifts will drive demand for both, and a panel will assess whether, and how, the new Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan will affect the supply of affordable housing.
