The Real Estate Capital Markets Leadership Assembly is an invite-only event that brings together industry leaders in real estate equity and debt capital markets. The day consists of closed-door PeerPod private roundtables for select leadership peer groups (limited partners, investment managers, lenders and real estate operating partners), as well as an Industry Leader panel. There is no public registration, and invitations are required to participate.
What is a Leadership Assembly?
The Leadership Assembly is an invite-only event exclusive to senior executives from active real estate principal organizations. There is no public registration and everyone at the event has been specifically vetted and invited to participate. Press is excluded from participation. The result is a confidential, off-the-record opportunity to connect with fellow senior leaders around important issues impacting the industry today.
What is a PeerPod?
The PeerPod private roundtable is a closed-door, invite-only, off-the-record group conversation among a select group of handpicked executives. Led by a facilitator, each PeerPod session is 90 minutes allowing for a candid conversation among peers to share information, compare notes and generate ideas on industry challenges. Participants love the roundtables because they offer an opportunity to get beyond the public information shared on panels to a more in-depth solutions-focused conversation that is candid yet confidential.
2025 Event
This year’s Real Estate Capital Markets Leadership Assembly is taking place on November 20, 2025 in Midtown Manhattan at 41 Madison Avenue. Please reach out to sam@greenpearlevents.com, if you are interested in participating.
