The Mortgage Observer is heading South, for the CRE Finance Council’s January Conference–held this coming Monday through Wednesday in Miami, Fla. The event is being held at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel and promises to be full of vital information for those involved in commercial real estate debt. We’ll be covering the entire conference, meeting with insiders to hear the buzz and running over to our exclusive cocktail event Tuesday evening at STK Miami.
This year’s featured speakers are former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and David Malpass, president of Encima Global. But in addition to those two there are a bunch of other high-powered panels that we’ll be breaking down for you, both in live blogs on the Commercial Observer site and via Twitter at @carlosville.
