🔎 Why These Conferences Matter for 2025

Diverse sectors covered: From REIT investment, multifamily and single-family rental, to distressed assets and construction — the list touches on virtually all major real-estate investment classes.

Global footprint: North America (USA, Canada), Europe (UK), and cross-border interests — reflecting real-estate’s globalized capital flows.

Market timing: As 2025 draws to a close, these December events offer a strategic checkpoint: good for assessing year-end performance, planning 2026 investments or partnerships, and catching early-bird opportunities for next year.

Networking & deal flow: Especially for institutional investors, developers, service providers — these conferences remain among the few venues in which large-scale deal-making, capital raising, and partnership building occur face-to-face.

💡 What to Keep in Mind

Always check the official conference websites for the latest agenda, as dates or locations can shift, especially for global events.

For international investors (such as yourself), plan travel and Visa requirements ahead — some of these events in the US or Canada may require visa processing time.

Mix of in-person and online attendance options: for example, the AICPA conference offers online participation — this may save time while still providing value if travel is difficult. 

Use the conferences to expand networks globally — especially useful if you are active in multiple countries (given your interest in global real-estate markets).
