Registration now open for "Who Will Own the Forest? 5"
The "Who Will Own the Forest? 5" Summit will be held September 14-16, 2009 at the World Forestry Center in Portland, Oregon. Registration is now open at: wwotf.worldforestry.org/.
Even with the current economic turmoil and decline in forest products consumption, forestland values have been affected much less than other asset classes. Interest in the class thus remains strong. But for how long? WFI's popular forestland investment series will ask this and other questions during the event, which begins with an evening reception on September 14, and shifts to a full two-day agenda on September 15-16.
The conference will examine the current and emerging issues impacting the forestland investment community. Valuations remain a big question mark. How will valuations trend, and when will the economic recovery begin? What's happening to the credit markets and what does this mean for future transactions? What will the next generation of forestland investing bring, as the current funds mature, and investors expect to liquidate their portfolios? How will these regulatory changes impact carbon projects for landowners and investors? Where in the world are investors exploring new investment opportunities, and what due diligence is needed? These and many other questions will be posed and discussed at the event.
