WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING...

"This conference brought together global leaders in commercial real estate, under one roof to discuss overcoming barriers to opportunity in the field. the diverse and dynamic group of speakers and panelists provided in-depth insight, as well as actionable practical tools of engagement models, methods and mechanisms (3ms) that have worked for them; and were able to share how the 3ms could be utilized to discover, develop, and deploy new diverse professionals. covering key areas such as affordable housing, new market tax credits, deal financing, and deal packaging, and opportunity zones, this conference was beyond expectation and provided something for everybody! this is what doing the work looks like. can't wait to see more from AGN.”

"The Diversity in Commercial Real Estate Conference was a unique experience, in that it took on the very bold and necessary task of bringing together some of CRE’s most important players to engage in dialog about the industry and more specifically the value that diversity brings to commercial real estate. The panelist were incredibly engaging, the discussions were informative, and the energy was electric!"

After being so inspired at avant-garde network women of color and capital conference. I signed up for their diversity in commercial real estate event. The event was awesome! I've been in law, real estate, and finance for 15+ years and found the conversations and people to be on point. Must attend!
