Final Speaker Line-Up Announced for New West Conference

By Jonathan Weber, 9-28-09

We’re delighted to announce that we’ve added yet a few more top-notch speakers Real Estate and Development in the Northern Rockies (Oct. 12-13 in Missoula), rounding out what promises to be our best program yet.

Michelle Sullivan, a veteran non-profit executive and all-around mover-and-shaker in Wyoming, will join us to discuss community in the New West, and how it evolves in an age of sharp ideological difference. Also from Wyoming, we’re pleased to welcome Jonathan Schechter of the Charture Institute, who will join the Tuesday panel discussion about conservation development.

And for our developer panel on Tuesday afternoon, which will offer a broad look at what’s getting built these days, and how, we’re featuring an exceptionally diverse line-up. The session includes Keith Simon, a San Francisco-based developer and investor and partner in a controversial project on the north end of Flathead Lake; Andy Erstad, a renowned Boise-based architect; Mark Woolley, a developer and consultant based in Salt Lake who has several active projects in Wyoming; and Eric Ossorio, a highly knowledgeable Big Sky real estate broker.

All of this of course is in addition to our three keynote speakers, four pre-conference tours, six break-out sessions, two receptions and much more. You can see all the details at www.newwest.net/realestate, or call 406-829-1725. We look forward to seeing you there!
