Hartford, CT The Connecticut/Western Massachusetts chapter of SIOR has named its recipient of a student scholarship attending the upcoming Create 360 Conference, to be held virtually October 21 – 23. Stavros Filippidis, recent University of Connecticut graduate majoring in Real Estate and Urban Studies, will be attending the virtual event along with many other real estate students in the United States and internationally. The scholarship earned by Stavros is supported by the SIOR Foundation along with the Connecticut/Western Massachusetts Chapter.

As a networking think tank with high-profile speakers and strategic discussion, CREate 360 provides a high-level, 30,000-foot view of the industrial and office real estate landscape. It’s where ideas transform into opportunities–and it’s the must-attend virtual event for CRE professionals at all career stages.
