Last-Minute Options for New West Conference

By Jonathan Weber, 10-09-09

NewWest.Net’s Real Estate and Development in the Northern Rockies conference kicks off on Monday, and if you haven’t signed up yet there are still some options.

On Monday, the two Missoula tours are sold out, but we still have some room left for the Butte historic preservation and redevelopment tour, which promises to be fascinating. (You’ll need to sign up in advance for that one as it leaves at 8:00 a.m. Monday.) On Monday afternoon at 4:30 we formally kick off at the MCT Theatre with economist Christopher Thornberg, who has become something of a cult figure among folks who have seen his dead-on accurate real estate market forecasts at our previous conferences. His talk will be followed by a reception, sponsored by First Security Bank. We have a limited number of $39 tickets for Thornberg’s presentation and the reception only; on-site tickets will be available, space permitting.

Tuesday is a full day at the Hilton Garden Inn, with three tracks of break-out sessions in the morning and a plenary session in the afternoon. The afternoon features Luther Propst of the Sonoran Institute, Roger Lang of Sun Ranch, Michelle Sulllivan of Sullivan & Assoc., architect Andy Erstad, and developers Mark Wolley and Keith Simon, among others, and will conclude with Sam Byrne, the new owner of the Yellowstone Club. The Tuesday evening reception will feature music with Shane Clouse and Tom Catmull, sponsored by WGM Group. Tuesday-only ticket are available for $198, and include breakfast, lunch, breaks, and the reception (as well as all the great presentations, of course). You can sign up online or on-site at the Hilton.

We hope to see you at the event, please call 406-829-1725 if you have questions, or visit the conference website at www.newwest.net/realestate.
