As one of the driving forces behind the nation’s economy, the real estate industry has long embraced its responsibility to give back and the importance of philanthropic activities across all sectors. This is particularly true against the backdrop of today’s turbulence and recent economic uncertainty. This program will explore the ways in which the real estate industry’s growth and philanthropic practices have impacted lives in Miami and will continue to work towards the greater good.

Speakers will include global leaders who have managed organizational change, and have built and lead international organizations.
New benchmarks have been set within the hospitality industry as the sector emerged stronger than ever from the pandemic. This session will feature the symbiotic relationship between new hospitality trends, real estate development, co-working and entertainment—and how it can drive investment and the successful development of businesses and vital communities.
