National Real Estate Women’s Forum
Online Conference Week
March 14 – 18, 2022
11 years & counting
The Real Estate Women’s Forum (“REWF”) is an annual commercial real estate industry gathering that highlights women in leadership roles as well as up-and-coming executives. The core DNA of the event is an industry event that focuses on key business trends, challenges and opportunities, where the entire speaker faculty is composed solely of women.
In 2022, we are holding REWF on a national basis as a series of online content sessions and in-person social events throughout the week of March 14.
The conference is organized into a core program on March 14 and 15 with optional market and sector programs on March 16, 17 and 18.
For a more detailed schedule, please view the agenda.
In-person social events will be taking place during the week in key cities in the U.S. More details will be sent to registered attendees as dates, times and venues are confirmed.
Whether you are looking to meet business partners, find mentors, advance your career, connect with old friends or meet new ones, REWF is a once-a-year opportunity. Don’t miss out!
