Alberta Investors: Where Money Will Be Made (And Lost)In The Next 12 Months

Over the next year, some Alberta investors will quietly position themselves on the right side of the cycle. Others will buy the wrong assets, in the wrong submarkets, with the wrong debt.

This session is for the first group.

About this session

Rob Vanovermeire has spent more than two decades in Alberta real estate. He’s:

• Broker / Owner of Coldwell Banker Mountain Central
• Owner of Davies Property Management, a licensed firm managing 800+ residential, multifamily, and commercial units across Greater Edmonton and Calgary
• A former Alberta Real Estate Association instructor who has trained hundreds of REALTORS® on the Real Estate Act, risk management, and best practices
• Recently recognized as one of the most influential voices in Canadian real estate (Buzz Buzz Media, June 2026)

Rob has lived through multiple Alberta cycles: rapid run-ups, painful corrections, shifting rates, and changing investor strategies. He has a front-row seat to what’s actually happening in offers, rents, vacancies, and cap rates right now.

In this session, he’ll walk through:

• What he’s seeing today across Calgary and Edmonton
• Where he believes money will be made over the next 12 months
• Where he sees the most under-rated risk for investors
• The key signals he’s watching to adjust strategy in real time

Expect a practical, boots-on-the-ground conversation, not macro theory.

What you’ll walk away with.

By the end of the evening, you’ll have:

• A clear, on-the-ground view of current conditions in Calgary and Edmonton
• Specific segments, strategies, and structures Rob finds attractive right now
• A sharper understanding of downside risk in this part of the cycle
• A short checklist of metrics and indicators to watch over the next 12 months
• Better questions to bring back to your own portfolio, partners, and advisors

Who this is for

• Active real estate investors in Calgary, Edmonton, or broader Alberta
• Private lenders and capital partners deploying into Alberta real estate
• Operators and entrepreneurs who care about capital, deal structure, and long-term wealth

If you value thoughtful conversations with serious investors more than handing out business cards, this room is for you.
