The Maine Real Estate & Development Association, or MEREDA, said its forecast conference and member showcase, sponsored by TD Bank, will be back in person on Jan. 20 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
In order to make the event available to as many people as possible while following COVID safety protocols, MEREDA moved the annual event to the Cross Insurance Arena in Portland, according to a news release.
The conference will also be streamed online.
The conference brings together industry experts to share insights on the various sectors of real estate.
“MEREDA continually brings together the best and the brightest of the real estate industry, and we felt strongly about finding a way to be together safely for our signature event,” Josh Fifield, president of MEREDA and a vice president and senior account executive at Clark Insurance, said in the release.
Cross Insurance Arena is a state-of-the-art facility and larger venue that “will allow us to experience the energy of hosting attendees, presenters, sponsors, and vendors again in person,” Fifield said. “MEREDA members are on the forefront of all that is happening in real estate, and this event is an incredible forum for a dialogue about the future of the Maine economy.”
According to Shelly Clark, MEREDA’s vice president of operations, the conference will follow Centers for Disease Control health and safety guidelines.
The conference is geared toward builders, developers, brokers, attorneys, architects, engineers, municipal leaders, bankers and accountants, to name a few. Continuing education credits will be available. Along with presentations from real estate leaders across various sectors, the conference will include a member showcase with exhibitions from local businesses.
MEREDA’s mission is to promote responsible development in the state of Maine and is why they work hard to provide opportunities for people to learn and connect with other industry professionals.
