KBRA Releases CREFC January Conference 2025 – Day 1 Recap

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- KBRA releases its Day 1 recap of the CRE Finance Council (CREFC) January Conference 2025. CREFC returned to Miami for its annual January conference, drawing an audience of over 2,300 attendees. The organization serves 425 member firms across the commercial real estate (CRE) finance landscape. Members and nonmembers alike flock to Miami each year for the event, which serves as a forum for professionals to share insights and observations across the various facets of the industry.

Day 1 started with opening remarks from conference co-chairs Thanh Bui, Managing Partner at Clarion Partners, and Stewart McQueen, Partner at Dechert LLP. Ms. Bui highlighted three main conference themes for the next two and a half days, designed to help foster meaningful dialogue and connections. These include alternatives—innovative approaches, housing solutions, and emerging asset classes; artificial intelligence (AI) technology—exploring how advancements are reshaping our operations; and Miami—the unique opportunities and challenges the region presents. Mr. McQueen presented how the two keynote speakers of the conference will help play into these themes. Keynotes include former U.S. National Security Advisor and retired Lieutenant General H.R.
