Please join us for NAIOP SFBA's Annual Commercial Real Estate Finance Panel to hear from debt capital providers who are making loans on all property types (including office). Learn what is getting financed, what is not, and what lenders are doing with deals that have “issues”. Our panel of market participants will discuss volatility, liquidity, terms, and pricing, as we all navigate the current financing market. After the panel discussion, join us for appetizers, drinks, and networking at Harrington's Bar.

Online registration is now closed. Onsite registration will be available starting at 3pm on Thursday, July 11th.
