About this Event
A quarterly, recurring meetup bringing together real estate developers, investors, and industry professionals to connect, collaborate, and learn.
This event is designed for all experience levels—from aspiring developers and active flippers to experienced builders, operators, and capital partners—who want to connect on ground-up and value add development.
Unlike large, unstructured networking events, this meetup is intentionally designed to create meaningful conversation, practical education, and high-quality connections.
🍽 Food will be provided
🍸 Cash bar available
⚠️ Capacity is limited to preserve the quality of interaction. Once spots are filled, registration will close.
Event Format & Schedule
🔹 Structured Networking (Paired Interviews)
A guided networking format designed to create quick, intentional connections through short, focused conversations. This removes the awkwardness of traditional networking and ensures you leave having met multiple people in the room.
🔹 Bull vs. Bear Panel: Developer vs. Builder
A moderated, debate-style panel exploring the bull and bear cases for operating as the developer versus operating as the builder.
Panelists will discuss:
- The upside and downside of each role
- Risk, liability, and capital considerations
- Control, scalability, and long-term wealth creation
- When it makes sense to wear both hats—and when it doesn’t
This session is designed to help attendees determine which role is best for their experience level, goals, and current market conditions.
🔹 Light Dinner & Open Networking
Enjoy food and continue conversations during relaxed, open networking. This is where relationships deepen and collaborations often begin.
Who Should Attend
- Real estate developers (aspiring to experienced)
- Builders and contractors
- Investors and capital partners
- Flippers and value-add operators
- Lenders, brokers, architects, and other industry professionals
