The web site for the 2009 “The Big Deal” conference, hosted by the National Brownfields Association and the City of Phoenix is now up and running at http://www.nbabigdeal.org/. It runs March 24-25, 2009. From the website, the intent is:
Be among industry mavericks and meet the best minds in green build and brownfield redevelopment, there to help you gain the know-how to finance, insure, engineer and build your next big project. Exchange information with public and private sector stakeholders at more than 25 breakout sessions; discuss products, technologies and service needs with more than 100 vendors in the exhibit hall; hear real estate and capital market forecasts; attend the Transaction Forum and make your big deal on a brownfield site ready for redevelopment.
A key component of the conference is the Transaction Forum:
the only marketplace that brings together buyers and sellers looking for redevelopment opportunities to build their next sustainable development.
Whether you’re a municipality corporate property owner, partnership or sole proprietor, you’ll want to take advantage of this opportunity to showcase your property. The Transaction Forum is a cost-effective way for you to promote your site to a wide range of buyers who are knowledgeable about brownfield redevelopment, including:
- Corporate property owners looking for sites for new facilities
- Developers looking for redevelopment opportunities
- Investors looking to invest in properties
- Attorneys and environmental consultants who can facilitate redevelopment and act as an intermediary between buyers and sellers
- Elected officials and government staff who are “developer-friendly” and looking to provide financial incentives, technical assistance and environmental liability relief to make your project work.
