CEO Luke J. Petherbridge of Link Logistics will be the featured keynote speaker for the Harold E. Eisenberg Foundation’s (HEEF) Networking Night fundraising event on Thursday, Nov. 10 at the Merchandise Mart’s Marshall’s Landing. Peter Borzak, CEO of Pine Tree, will interview Petherbridge. 

HEEF’s Networking Night offers commercial real estate professionals an opportunity to advance and expand their industry connections in a casual setting, hear insights on the state of the market from the leader of one of the largest U,S. industrial property owners, and support the overarching goals of the Foundation. The program is being hosted on the first night of the Foundation’s two-day Career Day program for college students. 

“In-person events combining social, networking, educational and charitable elements are an important part of CRE’s ecosystem,” said HEEF president Peter Eisenberg. “HEEF’s Networking Night and Career Day give us the opportunity to reconnect and support a cause that is greater than any of us.” 

The conversation between Petherbridge and Borzak is expected to focus on Petherbridge’s career path that led him from Australia to being one of the most influential leaders in U.S. commercial real estate. He will also discuss the state of the U.S. industrial market, as well as the state of the macro economy and how he is positioning his company to deal with the economic uncertainty that lies ahead.   

The Premier Sponsors for the 2022 Networking Event are Old Second National Bank, Wintrust, North American Real Estate and Iron Ridge Partners.
