For the past decade, our retreats have evolved the way real estate investors and developers gather and connect throughout the year. How does it work? Our Retreats Team is responsible for forging relationships with the most significant commercial real estate players in the nation. We donât sell tickets to just anyone, we curate a community of thoughtful and prolific entrepreneurs and real estate leaders to share insights and develop relationships throughout the year, culminating at our annual retreats. The retreats are forty-two hours long and held at the 1 Hotel, combining three different elements weâve found have delivered the highest value to our attendees: fun activities, TED style content from business leaders across disciplines outside of real estate, and relaxed networking amongst key decision makers. Weâve taken the CEOs of publicly traded companies skydiving and weâve driven race cars with top CRE investors & developers.
