The Real Estate Private Equity Summit brings together institutional investors and fund managers, private capital and family offices, direct lenders and debt funds along with operating and development partners to create an in-person marketplace for real estate capital markets at both the fund level and deal level.
The conference is exclusive for principals only and revolves around a set of off-the-record peer-to-peer roundtables designed to bring together peer groups around today’s challenges, as well as specialized workshops, insightful panels, and ample networking time to reconnect with colleagues and new connections.
There are a very limited number of tickets available for service providers in order to keep a high principal to service provider ratio. Guaranteed attendance by service providers can be gained through sponsorship. For details, contact Amber Collins at (amber@greenpearlevents.com)
