DESCRIPTION
The Western Canadian Hotel and Resort Investment Conference kicks off with intense networking at the opening reception on October 7 (Fairmont Pacific Rim) followed by conference sessions on October 8 (Fairmont Waterfront Hotel) in Vancouver. Here's who will be on stage: • Don't miss Carrie Russell and Mark Sparrow's review of this year's operating performance and transaction highlights. Western Canadian urban and resort markets come under the microscope as performance metrics, market trends, hotel and resort values, stakeholder profile and motivations, and sale details are summarized. • With the help of Bill Stone; Ryan Pomeroy, Jonathan Korol and Fayaz Manji reveal details of a past transaction. It's one thing to know the asset, buyer and cap rate but what about how the deal was created? • Tom Andrews moderates a panel of advisors, exploring trends and sources of Foreign Investment. • Understanding and appreciating the real estate cycle is critical to achieving big returns on investment. This session looks at strategic objectives, like picking winning markets, the timing of purchases, increasing value by expanding or improving a property, and more. Leading the seminar, we are proud to present Tsur Somerville, PhD/Professor at UBC's Centre for Urban Economics and Real Estate. • The moratorium on Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) program has ended and an "overhaul" and new rules unveiled. What are the changes which limits access to the program? What are the penalties for employers who break the rules? Join Dave Kaiser, Celia Koehler, Peter Parmar and a representative from Service Canada; Matthew Wong on this important discussion. • When it comes to renovating aging resorts, which areas provide ROI and which improvements need to be completed for defensive or preventative concerns? Brian Stanford moderates a panel with Tyler MacDonald, Scott Richer, Mark Edwards and Paul Morissette. • Deal Analysis: Do you rely your gut intuition or analytic approaches? Get both sides of the story when you meet 'the cowboy' Marc Staniloff and 'the computer' Jason Wight. • At the end of the day, we will hear from the next generation of innovative hoteliers; Aleksa Mrdjenovich, Marcel Berube and Hugo Germain.
