CREFC Hosts 10th Annual Finance Forward Symposium in New York
The CRE Finance Council (CREFC) will host its 10th annual Finance Forward Symposium on October 1, 2026, in New York City. Organized by CREFC's Women's Network, the event aims to foster leadership development and professional growth within the commercial real estate finance industry. The full-day program includes sessions focused on market trends, conflict resolution, career advancement, adaptive reuse of properties, and more. The symposium will feature a keynote speech from Evy Poumpouras, former U.S. Secret Service Special Agent, who will discuss communication strategies in high-stakes environments. Additional discussions will explore the evolving CRE lending landscape shaped by higher interest rates, liquidity challenges, regulatory changes, and new market entrants. Following the symposium, a guest bartending fundraiser benefiting Living Beyond Breast Cancer is scheduled for later that evening at Printers Alley.
