American Realty Advisors Announced as Gold Sponsor and Keynote Speaker at TEXPERS' Summer Educational Forum 2023
An institutional capital management firm, American Realty Advisors, is joining TEXPERS' 2023 Summer Educational Forum as a Gold Sponsor. Its managing director and head of research and strategy, Sabrina Unger, will deliver a keynote presentation.
This event will be held from Aug. 13 to 15, 2023, at The Woodlands Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton, in The Woodlands, Texas. With their extensive expertise and industry leadership, American Realty Advisors is set to bring valuable insights and enrich the overall experience of the Forum, says Sherry Mose, president of TEXPERS' board of directors.
"As a Gold Sponsor, American Realty Advisors demonstrates its commitment to supporting the continuing education of Texas' public pension system trustees and administrators," Mose says. "Their sponsorship plays a crucial role in ensuring the success and quality of this event. We are grateful for their partnership and appreciate their dedication to fostering the growth and development of the public pension industry."
Jay Butterfield, executive managing director and head of business at American Realty Advisors, says the firm is proud to be a Gold Sponsor of this year's TEXPERS Summer Educational Forum.
"The Forum is a great opportunity for trustees to gain up-to-date information on the trends and challenges impacting their fund investment portfolios, and we value the opportunity to support the sharing of ideas in this forum," he says.
American Realty Advisors is also presenting Unger, a highly respected keynote speaker, on Monday, Aug. 14, during the Forum's opening day of general sessions. In addition to leading the firm's research initiatives, Unger works closely with its investment and portfolio management teams to develop investment analyses in support of new acquisitions and strategy implementation. Furthermore, she is on the Investment Committee at American Realty Advisors.
"This distinguished speaker will undoubtedly capture the audience and provide valuable perspectives on the ever-evolving real estate landscape," Mose says. "Attendees can look forward to gaining valuable insights and a deeper understanding of the industry's future direction."
Unger's keynote presentation starts at 8:10 a.m. in the venue's Grand Ballroom, located in the resort's North Wing Conference Center.
“My hope is that Monday’s keynote presentation, Shaping Spaces: Mega-Trends Influencing the Future of Real Estate, gives members a clearer understanding of the evolving trends slated to influence the real estate investment environment over the coming decade," Unger says. "Given the accelerating pace of change, such as we saw in the wake of the pandemic, investors and managers need to be able to identify these change agents far enough in advance to take advantage of the investment opportunities they present, perhaps now more than ever.”
