You don’t need another presentation—you need real conversations with the right people.

This month’s MAREI Meeting is built entirely around access.

You’ll rotate through small-group roundtables with experienced real estate investors, each bringing a different area of expertise. Every 10 minutes, you move to a new table, ask your questions, and get a new perspective.

• Pick the brains of seasoned pros at our Ask the Expert Tables
• Rub elbows with local investors who know where you're coming from
• Chat with investor-friendly vendors (who can help your business)
• Meet with future partners, lenders, buyers, life long friends

Come ready to ask. Come ready to listen.
And most importantly—come ready to figure out who you want to stay in touch with after the meeting.

We’ll be adding our lineup of expert table hosts below as they’re confirmed.
