8:45 a.m. – 9:30 a.m.
Is It Time to Get Back on the Train?
Sam Zell usually has the answers. But Peter Linneman will be asking him some tough questions: Where are we? Where are we going? When will deal flows begin again? Their dialogue will frame a day of frank give-and-take about opportunities, risks and rewards that will arise as we try to rebuild market momentum.

Global Investment: Where Are the Dollars Flowing?

LUNCH AND PRESENTATION

Stay Red? Go Blue? What November 4 Will Tell Us
Part of the uncertainty in the market stems from the impending change of control in the executive branch of government. During Summit 2008 exactly six weeks prior to Election Day, you will hear experts from both parties as they evaluate how the outcome of the presidential contest is likely to affect the business climate in the United States and abroad.

Where’s My Promote?
For experienced fund sponsors, raising capital is not a problem. But finding the right assets to generate returns for investors is a challenge that has confounded sponsors since mid-2007. We look to leaders of top funds for a diagnosis of the issues facing real estate funds and a prescription for their future.

CONCURRENT SESSIONS

The Many Moving Parts of Urban Markets
Doing a project in an urban setting is always challenging. Higher construction costs, more diverse competition and, today, the slumping condo market are among the obstacles. But the rewards are greater also. Our panelists have all heard the applause that comes when a neighborhood revives or a city gains a showplace.

The Office Market: How to be Ready When the Buyers Return
Many owners of office properties continue to hold the line on pricing, though there have been relatively few buyers. Some are putting the waiting time to good use with property-improvement programs as a hedge against a market-wide repricing, should that come. Others are using the lull in the market to create “green” projects that may be a driving force in the next cycle. Expect to hear those and other strategies debated by our panel of office-sector thought leaders.

PLENARY SESSION
4:40 p.m. - 5:40 p.m.
The Outlook for Capital
There are signs of a thaw in the credit freeze, as banks begin to offer modest
discounts to sell some of the billions of dollars of mortgages and CMBS paper that have jammed their balance sheets and hampered their ability to make fresh loans. Next up? New regulations on investment banks and revised underwriting standards. What are those likely to be?
