Derek Dickow is famous for his networking events, and this one proved to be another successful opportunity to connect key members of the commercial real estate industry.

“The most valuable aspect of this event is connecting with people you would not otherwise have the opportunity to connect with. In these days and times, it is very difficult to get in a confined space and learn of new opportunities, new possibilities … and this networking event provides that for us, and for that I am very grateful.”
