Following a long stay at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in Maryland, this year’s edition of ICSC’s Mid-Atlantic Deal Making session found a new home at Marriott Marquis Washington, DC, which hosted a highly-condensed version of its former self in a bifurcated convention space.
Bohler’s Andrew Finkelstein welcomed the new scenery along with the “opportunity to explore new hotels and wonderful restaurants in downtown DC.”
Among the highlights was a highly-genuine and often profound discussion titled, “Women in Commercial Real Estate: retrospectives and fresh perspectives,” with speakers including Susan Bourgeois, Executive Director of Leasing & Brokerage, Rappaport; Emily Gagliardi, SVP, Head of Leasing, East and Central, First Washington Realty; Vanessa Mendoza, Senior Director, Mixed Use, Federal Realty Investment Trust; and Jennifer Price, Principal, KLNB. The session was moderated by Shay Carson Onorio, President & Owner, Red Thinking.
