This panel is an exciting opportunity to hear directly from leading REIT executives get an insider’s view on what to expect in 2015 and likely the years ahead.” The panel will be moderated by Stephen Swett, a Managing Director in ICR’s Real Estate Investor Relations practice. Panelists will include:
