The Real Deal is signing off early tonight because we’re on our way — and some of us are already there networking — to The Real Deal’s sixth annual forum, “The Road to Recovery,” at Alice Tully Hall in Lincoln Center. The panel, which begins at 6:30 p.m., will open with a 15-minute question-and-answer period with special guest Sharif El-Gamal, chairman and CEO of Manhattan-based real estate investment firm Soho Properties, and developer of Park51. Then, panelists Ian Schrager of Ian Schrager Company, Jeff Blau of Related Companies, Daniel Tishman of Tishman Construction, Robert Knakal of Massey Knakal Realty Services, Howard Lorber of Prudential Douglas Elliman and Diane Ramirez of Halstead Property will weigh in on the market. Fox Business News anchor Brian Sullivan will be moderating the event. It’s the big event of the year. You can tweet about it and send questions for the panelists to @rdforum.
