The Second Annual RealShare STUDENT HOUSING will take place April 14-15, 2009 at the Four Seasons Resort & Club in Dallas, and will feature speakers who will discuss the demand drivers for student housing properties in the various regions, and the outlook for investment, development and leasing of this niche property type in the midst of a recession and increasingly-challenging economic forecast.

The inaugural RealShare STUDENT HOUSING, held in March 2008, enjoyed noteworthy industry praise – attracting more than 420 owners, investors, developers, financiers, architects and collegiate housing officials for important discussion, debate, and networking. Building on the success of the inaugural conference, Incisive Media’s Second Annual RealShare STUDENT HOUSING will offer a more comprehensive agenda and bring together even more of the industry’s key players for insightful and innovative panel discussions and networking.

“Last year’s inaugural event really impressed me. It was extremely well attended with great representation from student housing operators, builders, financiers and the other segments serving the market. Moreover, the format truly facilitated networking. Anyone interested in student housing, regardless of size would be well-served by attending RealShare STUDENT HOUSING.”
