Real estate developers, brokers and investors who hope to succeed in this still-challenging commercial real estate market need every advantage that they can find. That’s where the Opportunities in North Dakota, the Bakken and the Williston Basin conference held by Midwest Real Estate News and Law Bulletin Publishing Company can help.
The July 18 conference in Chicago will cover real estate, energy, oil, investment and economic development opportunities in the state of North Dakota.
Thanks to the booming oil industry in the state — it boasts more than 25 billion barrels of recoverable oil — North Dakota has the lowest unemployment rate in the nation. North Dakota, the Bakken and the Williston Basin are all in the very early stages of growth and prosperity. During this conference, oil experts, real estate pros and political leaders will outline why it is not too late to invest in North Dakota.
“Any person who has any sort of interest in what is happening in North Dakota should attend this event,” said Jeff Johnson, general manager and group publisher of Minnesota Real Estate Journal, sister publication of Midwest Real Estate News. “There are so many opportunities available to them in North Dakota. Attendees will walk away from this conference with all the knowledge they need to make a better business decision.”
The conference will feature several important speakers, including Ed Schafer, former governor of North Dakota and current board member of Continental Resources. Also speaking are Jack Ekstrom vice president with the Whiting Petroleum Corporation; Tom Rolfstad, Williston Economic Development; Chris Faulkner, chief executive officer of Breitling Oil & Gas; Andy Peterson, president of the North Dakota Chamber of Commerce; Tom Mihalick, chief executive officer of Investors Real Estate Trust; and several others.
The conference is being held at the Holiday Inn Chicago Mart Plaza at 350 W. Mart Center Drive in Chicago. The event starts with registration at 7:15 a.m. The program runs from 8 a.m. through 4:30 p.m., with a hot breakfast, lunch and refreshments.
