Gov. Phil Murphy, Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop, Economic Development Authority head Tim Sullivan and dozens of top real estate professionals and thought leaders highlight the agenda for next week’s Jersey City Summit for Real Estate Investment 2019.
The event, now in its fifth year, will be held Nov. 18 at the Hyatt Regency in Jersey City. It will go from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Former Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno, a partner at Connell Foley, will serve as master of ceremonies.
Sherif M. Abouzied, the founder and managing principal of the event, said he feels the summit has become the region’s largest principal-driven real estate summit.
“It’s an annual reunion which brings together nearly a thousand investors, owners, developers and regional stakeholders,” he said. “Industry leaders come every year to hear from the top leadership, including Gov. Murphy and Mayor Fulop.
“It’s a thought leadership and investor outlook forum for folks behind the tri-state’s leading projects and investors across all of the asset classes. It’s grown into a yearly must-attend.”
