AREF brings together stakeholders from across the real estate investment spectrum to discuss and debate topical issues, to learn and to network. We seek to bring the industry together to help influence its evolution, for the benefit of both the practitioners working in the industry and the investors in the funds.

Attendance
Please remember to add the date to your calendar once you are booked on. Often our events are over-subscribed with a waiting list, we therefore ask you politely to advise us if you can no longer attend, so we can release your space to another member.
There is no limit to the number of events you attend.
