    Commercial and Residential Real Estate

    Join a panel of top national experts as they

    survey the real estate capital markets and answer

    the following questions: Who has capital and

    what will they be looking for? How will

    underwriting and perceived risk change in the

    new economy? Should we and how should we

    regulate real estate volatility? How should we

    deal with the overhang of distress? Is CMBS on

    the way back, what form does it take and how

    will traditional and specialty lenders take up the

    slack? What is the effect of government and its

    potential to jump-start the system? Wither

    Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; what are their

    roles and that of HUD/FHA in the current

    marketplace and what will it cost taxpayers? Why

    structures that are often quite complex. This panel of

    Opportunities, Challenges and Barriers toRenewable Energy Projects in the

    energy is moving to the forefront of energy and

    project finance development with the extension of

    investment tax credits and new stimulus funding,

    implementation of state renewable energy standards,

    growing interest from the electric utilities and

    growing demand from a public that is increasingly

    looking for cleaner energy and greener jobs. This

    panel will discuss a range of issues and options facing

    renewable energy projects, including project finance

    and special government finance opportunities,

    permitting and entitlement challenges unique in the

    Southwest U.S., and transmission line andinfrastructure concerns.
