The program

Forecasts, Panels and a National Keynote

The 2026 program opened with the Residential and Commercial Forecasts, then offered two Segment II sessions in the same hour: a residential Regional Housing Initiative update from the NoCo Foundation and the Common Sense Institute, and a commercial panel on the evolving capital stack. Segment III paired the Everitt Real Estate Center awards with a talk from Colorado’s State Demographer; Dr. Lawrence Yun of the National Association of Realtors was the keynote after lunch; and the afternoon was set to close with Breaking Ground, the development directors’ rundown of the region’s top projects — a huge hit year after year.
