More than 350 attendees are expected at this leading national information and networking event, which will be held Sept. 3-4 at the Intercontinental Dallas. The conference attracts attendees from a variety of disciplines, including hospital and healthcare system executives, healthcare real estate owners, investors, developers, lenders, operators and brokers, to discuss the rapidly changing healthcare industry and the implications for hospitals and health systems, as well as medical real estate.

The moderators for the session are Webber Beall, Executive Vice President at Lincoln Harris CSG, and Robert Parsley, Principal and Chairman at Colliers.

"The changing U.S. healthcare industry, including the mandates associated with healthcare reform, have resulted in growing popularity in outpatient facilities, which help providers save costs, expand market share and provide greater accessibility and convenience for patients," says Mr. Taylor. "This shift to outpatient facilities has had a significant impact on how we plan, locate and develop these properties to ensure strategic growth for our healthcare clients."

He added, "I'm looking forward to joining forces with the other esteemed panelists and sharing our insights."

The InterFace Healthcare Real Estate Conference brings together healthcare and real estate leaders to discuss how the ongoing implementation of healthcare reform and other drivers are changing the industry, affecting hospitals, systems and physician practices and, ultimately, impacting real estate usage and strategies.

Topics to be addressed at the conference include: the hospital, system and physician group perspective; the "retailization" of healthcare; the investment sales market; a new era of development; leasing, marketing and operating in today's market; who's lending in the debt market and what equity sources are available; and much more.
