The SF Bay Area Multifamily Leadership Assembly is an invite-only event that brings together industry leaders in residential real estate active in the SF Bay Area. The day consists of closed-door PeerPod private roundtables for select leadership peer groups in areas of development, operations, investments and capital markets. 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.
2026 Event
This year’s SF Bay Area Multifamily Leadership Assembly is taking place on March 5, 2026 at the Crowne Plaza Foster City – San Mateo. Please reach out to sam@greenpearlevents.com, if you are interested in participating.
