Jay Augustyn, a partner in Ice Miller’s Real Estate Practice, will moderate “Fund Formation & Raising Capital” at the Opportunity Zones Summit presented by CohnReznick & Develop on June 26 at 9:50 a.m. Ice Miller is a sponsor for the event.

Jay will be joined by panel members Manny Friedman, CEO of EJF Capital; Jeff Gronning, founder of Normandy Real Estate Partners; Stephen Sharkey, partner at DLA Piper; Robert Jenkins, CEO of Renaissance Equity Partners; and Michael Sanders, lead partner at Blank Rome.

The Opportunity Zones Summit is a half-day event covering local and national opportunity zone regulations and issues through a series of presentations and networking opportunities. The summit will cover such questions as:


1. What do the IRS regulations released in April mean for investors looking to put money in Opportunity Zones?

2. How can developers use Opportunity Zones to benefit communities in need, rather than amplifying fears of displacement?

3. As the deadline to maximize 2019's capital gains approaches, what are the best steps for investors and developers alike?
 

For the answers to these questions and more, register for the event now.
