symposium: NAIOP UTAH COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE.

Utah's economy and commercial real estate market sustained and strengthened over the past year. Each market sector experienced favorable momentum, being well-positioned for opportunity and growth throughout 2018.

Utah once again earned numerous national accolades in 2017. From being among the "#10 Best Places to Live" by U.S. News & World Report to "Utah Ranked #3 Best Economy" by WalletHub, our great state continues to stay in the spotlight as competitive and an attractive place to be.

Over the past year, there has been healthy discussion regarding Utah's future, raising such questions as: What will our labor force look like? How will our infrastructure evolve? What economic constraints can we avoid? It is important for industry professionals to understand what is ahead and what can be done to support positive outcomes. Thus, the Symposium theme, "Utah 2050."

The NAIOP Symposium Committee has spent several months creating a meaningful platform. By providing this annual publication and symposium addressing market conditions, analysis and forecasts, it is our hope the information will assist in making better calculated decisions for your clients, businesses and the economy.

This year's Symposium includes presentations and articles from Cushman & Wakefield, Newmark Grubb ACRES, CBRE, CBC Advisors, and JLL. The time and effort each market specialist contributes is long and extensive and is greatly appreciated.

The NAIOP Utah Commercial Real Estate Symposium appreciates the continued support of its marquee sponsor, Zions Bank, as well as its partner and supporting sponsors listed on the adjacent page. This incredible support makes it possible to offer outstanding market knowledge and education to industry professionals and decision makers.

NAIOP Utah Commercial Real Estate Symposium Committee
