The Milken Institute Global Conference ran from April 26 - 29, 2015, most of the video's were uploaded to youtube within hours of the panel's conclusion.

Discussions on Real Estate, Private Equity, Business of Sports, Hedge Funds, and the Global Economy to name a few.

I found the panel's that I watched interesting and informative, perhaps you may gain something from them as well.


"The Global Conference convenes some of the world's most extraordinary people to explore solutions to today's most pressing challenges in financial markets, industry sectors, health, government and education. Where others see problems, we seek solutions."

*Mentioned by Zell in his panel talk:

Sam Zell: Modern Sardine Management Circa 1986

Abstract:

Modern Sardine Management
by: Samuel Zell
space.gif

The premise, as presented here, is that real estate investment has been converted from a localized brick and mortar approach to a commodization wherein the obsession with numbers has replaced industry knowledge. The current result of commodization is the massive oversupply, and what happens in the future depends on whether the real estate business can return to basics.


Quote:

"Mr. A had a can of sardines. He sold them to Mr. B
for $1. Mr. B sold them to Mr. C. for $2. Mr. C
sold them to Mr. D for $3. Mr. D opened them and found they were rotten.
He complained to Mr. C that he wanted his money back.
Mr. C said "No, you don't understand. There are eating
sardines and trading sardines. Those were trading sardines."

-Sam Zell
