Business Facilities -November 2008

INTRODUCING Commercial Property Navigator LiveXchange is an invitation-only event for top corporate executives and investors who are evaluating and engaging real estate services. Major real estate service providers meet with decision-makers and project managers from companies undertaking major expansions or relocations across North America; attend seminars, workshops, and think tanks led by experts in the field of commercial real estate; and network with their peers. T his month, Group C Media, Inc.’s annual Business Facilities LiveXchange event is taking place in Huntington Beach, CA. For the past four years, LiveXchange has provided a unique and intensive meeting ground for site selectors and senior economic developers, supplemented with an all-star list of guest speakers addressing critical topics impacting on the current environment for development and economic growth. The up-close-and-personal interaction at LiveXchange between site selectors representing pre-qualified, big-ticket projects and the leading economic development specialists across the country has made the event a high-impact opportunity that provides a focal point for an essential part of the site-selection process. In 2009, Group C Media is introducing a new event that will apply our LiveXchange concept to the real estate services sector. The new event, Commercial Property Navigator LiveXchange, will take place at the landmark Hotel del Coronado in San Diego on March 22-24, 2009. According to Group C Media CoPresident Ted Coene, Commercial Property Navigator LiveXchange is the next step in fulfilling Group C’s commitment to provide high-quality, value-add publications, online services and events that address the full life cycle of facilities development. Commerical Property Navigator LiveXchange will join a suite of successful products that include Business NOVEMBER 2008 Facilities and Today’s Facilities Manager magazines, Business Facilities LiveXchange, The TFM Forum, the annual Business Facilities Site Seekers’’ Guide, and a growing array of online services and databases. “From the moment a company decides it needs to build, lease, or con- Ted Coene, Co-President Group C Media, Inc. solidate a new facility, corporate executives in charge of this daunting task can turn to Business Facilities or attend Business Facilities LiveXchange to find the perfect location,” Coene explains. “Once the perfect location or building is identified, decision makers can now turn to Commercial Property Navigator LiveXchange to find the strategic services that are essential to successful commercial real estate development.
