After nine years of successful events, REWF has become a reliable annual gathering that spotlights industry leading as well as up-and-coming female executives in commercial real estate, specifically emphasizing the achievements of women who are active developers, investors, owners and operators of investment real estate.
The core DNA of the event is a commercial real estate conference focused on trending and emerging real estate market issues where the entire speaker faculty is comprised solely of women. Attendance is open to all.
This year’s conference included a slate of panels on leadership, development and construction trends, emerging innovations and technology, as well as finance and investment activity. In addition, we hosted four private peer-to-peer roundtables for select leaders in CRE, multifamily, development and company leadership roles.
