Fort Lauderdale, FL (1888PressRelease) April 03, 2015 - Dina Friedman, Vice President, Director of Marketing of DCOTA (http://www.dcota.com), today announced that the Design Center of the Americas would host The Real Deal's Broward County Forum & Showcase on Thursday, April 23, from noon to 5 p.m.

As has been widely reported, the competition for buyers in the Broward region is getting fiercer every day. Panelists for the first of the Forum's two panels (What's next for development in Broward?) will participate in a discussion of trends in everything from marketing and funding to architecture and design, set against a broader look at where Broward County is in this real estate cycle. Panelists will include:

- Carlos Rosso, President of The Related Group's Condominium Development Division
- Kobi Karp, Principal of Kobi Karp Architecture
- Scott Leventhal, Co-Founder of The Trillist Companies, Inc.
- Jack McCabe, Founder of McCabe Research & Consulting
- Bradley Deckelbaum, Owner of Premier Developers
- Carolyn Ellert Block, Chair of the Broward Master Brokers Forum

The second panel (Foreign investment + South Florida) will discuss potential changes the industry should prepare for as volatility in foreign markets continues and the future of programs like EB-5 remains uncertain. Participants have not yet been announced for this panel.

"DCOTA is the perfect location to host high-end events like this," says Friedman. "Our elegant environment can stylishly and comfortably accommodate corporate functions, luncheons, galas and more. DCOTA's three exquisite atria and private suite locations can host dinner seating of 100 to 600 guests and as many as 1,500 guests for cocktail receptions."

The Real Deal's Broward County Forum & Showcase will bring together everyone in the South Florida real estate industry - from brokers, developers and designers to investors and homebuyers - for a day of networking and learning.

The cost to attend is $25 per person. To RSVP or for more information, please call 212-254.7400 or email forum ( @ ) therealdeal dot com dot
