Following up with a post today for a recap from last week’s Mid-Atlantic CCIM Chapter Conference in #WashingtonDC!

Event started at 9 am sharp on Friday 1/24 with a kick off from Melina Duggal from Costar giving an Economic Update in the Washington DC MSA, - interesting fact, compared to all the other major MSAs in the country, DC #office has yet to hit the bottom yet in terms of office rental rate and vacancies and it is expected o further decline in the next 2 years.

We then followed up with 2025 The CCIM Institute Global President Steve Rich giving a #CCIM Institute Update to the audience such as new marketing strategies to improve awareness about the CCIM Designation.

Ken Pierce, CCIM CIPS gave a great overview of the chapters growth from 2024 with my outlined vision for the chapter for 2025.

Afterwards we broke out for industry round tables and lunch before conducting my interview with my good friend and partner Bob Knakal giving insights to the audience how they can stay on top of the pack by being industry leaders.

We than wrapped up the conference with Phillip Quinones and Gary McKee providing a presentation on Datacenters, Datacenter Development, and the impact on how AI is effecting Datacenters as Northern Virginia is considered the datacenter capital of the world seeing 1/3 of internet traffic.

Thank you to all the speakers, attendees, and all those who participated with the conference such as Chanda Chann, CCIM, MBA and Mirtes Happy!

Back in NYC with the SIOR NYC Winter Conference today!
