8 tracks TAILORED TO YOUR NEEDS STARTING AT 11:25 AM CHOOSE AMONG THREE TRACKS TRACK A BRAVE NEW WORLD TRACK TRACK B DEVELOPMENT TRACK TRACK C FINANCE TRACK 11:25 AM BREAKOUT 1A BRAVE NEW WORLD TRACK Retail Malls and Shopping Centers: What s Happening at the Intersection of Bricks and Mortar and Digital Technology? Retailers and landlords are investing significant capital into technology to better understand consumers, drive traffic, monetize and improve physical assets, and ultimately increase revenues for everyone. Our front line panelists will discuss various types of existing and developing technologies, and how these technologies affect lease provisions (including tenants obligations to provide financial, utility and data sharing information) and confidentiality and security issues. BREAKOUT 1B DEVELOPMENT TRACK What Works (and Doesn t) in Real Property Contracts Real property contracts often contain the same core provisions, including pages upon pages of boilerplate provisions, all included and intended to (i) specifically delineate the parties rights and obligations, (ii) limit the parties liability with respect to the transaction, and (iii) dictate the manner in which potential disputes are adjudicated. While real estate lawyers and their clients rely on these ubiquitous provisions, do they actually work? Will they be enforced literally and as everyone thought they would be when the contract was drafted? This panel will examine the enforceability of common provisions in real property contracts and provide guidance on how to draft such provisions to ensure they are enforced. BREAKOUT 1C FINANCE TRACK Alternative Lenders in a Post-Dodd Frank World The risk-based capital rules of Dodd Frank likely will impact, if not constrain, the most active area of finance today namely construction and repositioning loans. This panel of esteemed and active nontraditional lenders will discuss their anticipation of the new markets post-dodd Frank, as well as how they each view the alternative lender s role in filling the potential vacuum in the capital stack for value add transactions. As part of the discussion, the panel will discuss any implications that Dodd Frank will have relative to alternative lending space (such as the cost of funds). Mary M.

Metro, a key L.A. County Supervisor, a case study by a senior executive at LACMA, and a law professor who studies land use and urban redevelopment.

11 BREAKOUT 3C FINANCE TRACK Fad or Forever: Is Foreign Investment in U.S. Commercial Real Estate Here to Stay? Over the past few years, billions of dollars of foreign capital has flowed into U.S. commercial real estate. The acquisition and construction of high profile assets has garnered much of the attention but is not the entire story. Some experts predict that investors from China and other countries will continue their massive investments in markets like Los Angeles and New York as part of a long term diversification strategy. This panel will discuss significant sources of foreign capital, including EB-5 financings, sovereign funds and direct private investment. The panel will also discuss the impact that foreign capital is having in Los Angeles with projects such as Metropolis and Figueroa Central and acquisitions like the U.S. Bank Tower. Susan J.
