Description

On the latest Walker Webcast, we featured Willy’s opening remarks from this year’s Summer Conference in Sun Valley – and you won’t want to miss his perspective on where the CRE industry and economy are headed. You’ll hear his take on Fed policy, the future of office, the need for younger leadership in our country, AI’s massive implications to businesses and health, the economics of climate change and how it’ll impact our society, and much more. Watch or listen to the replay. If you have any comments or questions, please reach out to your main Walker & Dunlop point of contact. We are all available to answer questions and provide assistance. Additionally, if you have topics you would like covered during one of our future webcasts, we would be happy to take your suggestions.
