The Brownstoner and QNS Real Estate Conference focuses on changing neighborhoods and strategies for developers and brokers of residential property in Brooklyn and Queens. It takes place Wednesday, October 10 from 8 a.m. to noon at the Brooklyn Expo Center in Greenpoint.

Brownstoner and QNS Real Estate Conference kicks off with fireside chats with Elizabeth Lusskin, President of the LIC Partnership and Executive Director of the LIC Business Improvement District and President of the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership Regina Myer. The two will consider the past, present and future development of Downtown Brooklyn and Long Island City, including rezonings, the local arts communities, and infrastructure upgrades.
