BL CEO will Anchor Opening Plenary at Brownfields 2017 with Big Ideas on the Real Estate Boom

CHICAGO - Oct. 16, 2017 - PRLog -- We are so pleased to announce that our very own BL CEO, Dan French, will anchor the opening plenary session to kick off the upcoming EPA National Brownfields Training Conference being held this December 5-7 in Pittsburgh at the David L. Lawrence convention center downtown. Dan joins other terrific speakers appearing throughout the week, including John Paul Farmer, of Microsoft and The Innovation Project, in the keynote on Wednesday. Bill Peduto, the current Mayor of Pittsburgh, PA, and Tom Murphy, Senior Resident Fellow at the Urban Land Institute, will headline the Mayor's Roundtable.

Dan will follow introductory remarks from a number of esteemed leaders the morning of Tuesday, December 5, convening the largest collection of real estate redevelopment, remediation and revitalization practitioners in the industry. In a broad, big thinking discussion, Dan will deliver the simultaneous mix of substance and inspiration that he's become known for. And with a unique caliber of cutting insight usually reserved for clients, he will impart the objective context critical to understanding the world today and redevelopment boom now underway.

It's the type of foundational knowledge regular readers of BL enjoy in our blogs and premium subscribers, partners and clients depend on in their own decision-making. Dan's big view of the boom will give you the bedrock understanding essential for operating in today's environment and necessary to position yourself for the fast-approaching future.

As a driving force behind the boom, Dan's powerful perspective cuts through the dense fog of current events and distills headlines and trend lines down into meaningful, actionable takeaways. He was recently rated the top lecturer at Western Michigan University's leadership training seminar, by some of the brightest up-and-coming minds in corporate America.

The opening plenary session at Brownfields 2017 is your opportunity to get one of the freshest takes from one of the most primary sources in the field today. This year your national brownfield conference experience can begin with a direct view of the many structural shifts converging to drive greater demand for redeveloping contaminated properties than ever before. Before diving into all the incredible substance on this year's agenda over the course of the week, Dan will start you off with a deeper understanding into why and how the U.S. real estate industry is experiencing such an exciting, record-breaking period of expansion and evolution.

A redevelopment renaissance.Come to Pittsburgh and hear the objective case that optimism in our future has been undersold. Find a good seat in the opening plenary and get your own view of the outlook that is reigniting imaginations, recalibrating the thinking of decision makers and redeploying capital around the country. View the big picture on economy, energy and environment through Dan's eyes and see the building blocks we need for a better built-environment tomorrow within our reach today.

Leave reinvigorated by the very real possibilities in a future that could be much brighter and arrive much sooner than you might have imagined before; and re-engaged with the knowledge that we can rise to the challenges coming our way and leave the resilience and abundance our children will need to survive and thrive in this new century and beyond.

And all this just in the opening plenary session. So, be sure to register to attend what is sure to be the most substantive and enriching National Brownfield Conferences yet.
