Brutal exchange rates, Wall Street volatility, Brazil turned upside-down, Chinese pull-back, falling oil prices and the wacky U.S. elections. This is a perfect storm that unnerves many affluent homebuyers.

The Inman way is to confront these sorts of challenges, have no fear about discussing the elephants in the room and identify the opportunities that may be right in front of us.

So all that and more will be on the agenda at Global Connect at the Mandarin Oriental in New York City on April 7, 2016. This stellar gathering represents what a highly-charged and creative executive real estate networking event should be. Cutting edge content, pedigree sponsors, a star-studded lineup of speakers, a world-class setting and unmatched networking opportunities. The attendee list represents global real estate success.

Volatility, global change, election jitters and market challenges are just some of the issues that will be discussed and debated by the best and brightest of the industry.

“On stage and in the audience: The one common denominator is success, real estate people who know what they are doing, know how to seek out opportunities, and know how to overcome market adversity,” said Inman publisher Brad Inman. “Our guests do not have time to waste, so we insist on valuable takeaways, insights and market forecasts.”
