Creating Profitability in a Turbulent Economy

A candid discussion on where enterprising minds find opportunity

On March 28, DCBIA explores how enterprising private sector leaders deal with multiple and overlapping economic headwinds as we emerge from the pandemic, including rising construction costs, a difficult financing environment, sluggish investment activity, rising Fed rates, conflicting local and national policy goals, and a remote/hybrid office environment that appears here to stay. 

At this year’s in-person session, Spencer Levy, Global Client Strategist & Senior Economic Advisor of CBRE will present an overview of industry trends and provide updates on the commercial, retail, office, and multifamily markets. DC zoning expert Allison Prince, Partner, Goulston & Storrs will moderate a panel discussion of private sector leaders covering a variety of expertise in construction, hospitality, grocery-anchored mixed-use assets, and sports and entertainment. Join us for a dynamic discussion on creating profitability in a turbulent economy: a candid discussion on where enterprising minds find opportunity. We have also invited Mayor Muriel E. Bowser for a State of the District update.
