Panelists will include members from the Navy Yard, Rebuild, Liberty Property Trust, Brandywine Realty Trust, and more.

Confirmed panelists are:

Participants will also be able to tour the Philadelphia Navy Yard at the conclusion of the panel and get a firsthand glimpse of all of the exciting projects both planned and underway!

Additionally, newly appointed Deputy Kerry Kirkland, Deputy Secretary for Diversity, Inclusion and Small Business Opportunities in the Pennsylvania Department of General Services, will be joining us as our Keynote Speaker!
