The symposium, which will start with a networking breakfast, will be held at the Wells Fargo Conference Center, 150 East 42nd on October 26 from 9AM – 12:00PM.
Linda O’Flanagan, the managing editor of Real Estate Weekly, is the moderator. Panelists are among New York’s most notable authorities on commercial real estate. They are:
- Jon Simon, founder and CEO of Simon Baron, NYC-based real estate developer
- Brittany Bragg, COO, Crown Acquisitions
- William Scully, managing director for U.S. Investments for Asia Pacific Land
- Joseph “JJ” Sollazzo, economist for Costar, NYC’s leading commercial real estate portal; and

“Inside Information guests will get tremendous insight into the panelists’ specialties and key niches in new York’s commercial real estate market,” said Michael Greenberg, CEO and General Counsel, Level Group. “These professionals are at the tip of the spear in their industries. For that reason, attendees are guaranteed an informative and substantive conversation.”
The panel discussion will cover both market issues, e.g., drivers of value, threats to current values, where the NYC real estate market is in the cycle, and, in more personal terms, the panelists’ journeys to their noteworthy career achievements. Panelists will reveal their first big break, the biggest risk they’ve taken, the toughest negotiation they’ve been in and other career turning points. “We believe it will be educational and inspiring to hear these very successful players talk personally about their successes and failures,” said Larry Link, president, Level Group. “One of the best ways to learn is from others, and attendees will be learning from the best.”
The Spotlight Series is part of Level Group’s comprehensive approach to broker education and success training. “The Spotlight Series reflects Level Group commitment both to educating our brokers and to providing leadership to the city’s commercial real estate community,” said Michael Barbolla, COO Level Group. “We see this as a catalyst for advancing ideas and innovative approaches in the community at large.”
