The New Deal-Making Destination for Commercial Real Estate — RISMedia |
From September 27-29, the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) welcomes hundreds of commercial real estate professionals to the first-ever C5 Summit in the heart of New York City – the epicenter of commercial real estate. The C5 Summit is the premier commercial real estate and development event in the United States, where owners, investors and influential real estate leaders network, build relationships, discuss the latest data and trends, and negotiate profitable deals – all in one place.
NAR traditionally hosts a US pavilion at the annual MIPIM real estate development conference in Cannes, France, showcasing American cities and regions to attract foreign investment.
“The US is one of the top destinations for investors,” said Charlie Oppler, President of NAR 2021. “Now investors from around the world have an unprecedented opportunity to meet and do deals right here in the US at the C5 Summit, with invaluable networking opportunities, exclusive events and carefully curated programs. “
Capital. Connect. Trade. Community. Commercially.
The C5 Summit is the ultimate event for commercial real estate and business-to-business at its finest. Participants quickly connect with other leaders, stakeholders, and potential partners. They do lucrative trades and raise capital when business is done. And they’re helping to redefine what community means in a post-pandemic world through the partnerships they forge.
At C5, the focus is on the future. Attendees learn what’s new and become part of the next as they connect with titans and trendsetters, create the skylines, reinvigorate cities, close important deals, and pave the way into the industry. For maximum efficiency and effectiveness, the entire value chain of commercial real estate is mapped – from financing and development to sales and real estate management.
