Bookmark and Share Charlotte, NC - August 01, 2016 -

CoreNet Global Carolinas – a professional association dedicated to the advancement of the corporate real estate industry – will be hosting its annual Mega Event. This year’s theme is “Great Solutions in a Dynamic Marketplace.” It will take place on Wednesday, Sept. 7 from 2:00-7:00PM at The Ritz-Carton, Charlotte, located at 201 E. Trade Street.

Rob O’Neill, former SEAL Team Six Leader, Naval Special Warfare Development Group, will give the keynote address entitled “Never Quit” which will draw leadership lessons in tenacity in a dynamic environment – drawing on his extensive military experience. O’Neill is one of the nation’s most decorated combat veterans. Having trained more than 800 special operations and tactical operators, O’Neill translates his elite SEAL team training into high-impact, actionable insights on leadership, decision-making, operating in uncertain environments, and how to become the ‘best of the best.’ His mantra is “never quit,” and O’Neill believes this is the single most important factor in determining success.

“We look forward to bringing corporate real estate representatives throughout the Carolinas together for our Mega Event," said Tony Perez, CoreNet Global Carolinas Board President. “Our dynamic speakers and programming will provide attendees with invaluable educational and networking opportunities.”

In addition to the keynote address, attendees will also have the opportunity to attend two interactive break-out sessions with leading real estate leaders from across the Southeast. Click here for the most up-to-date list of speakers.
