About The Conference
iGlobal Forum was pleased to host the 4th Global REITs Summit: Listed, Non-Traded & Private REITs in New York on Thursday, October 1st! Valued at over a trillion dollars, REITs are growing at a never-before-seen rate as more and more investors enter the space. The Summit explored the growing challenges for a developing REIT industry with more competition entering the marketplace daily and how to stay competitive in a challenging market, combat rising interest rates, and invest in new, non-traditional sectors on the rise every day such as data centers, self-storage, and student housing. The industry is facing a huge overhaul with new regulations coming into place for 2016, and both listed and non-traded REITs are going to need to learn to adapt and major changes in demographic demands and capital market activities are shifting investment opportunities in the industry. The 4th Global REITs Summit provided an opportunity to meet directly with leading industry professionals and decision-makers such as REIT executives and investors, owners, private equity GP’s and LP’s, investment bankers, asset managers, advisors, and non-traded REIT sponsors and issuers.
