Strategies for the future

The Real Estate Investment Day in Frankfurt is a one-day conference that brings together investment and fund managers from the real estate sector, as well as fund initiators, and industry consultants. The conference focuses on current developments in Europe and worldwide, going beyond the German horizon.

Participants from various countries will gain valuable insights into the German real estate investment market, while German attendees receive current information on trends and investment opportunities abroad, across all asset and risk classes.

The conference is targeted at professionals and managers from German and European real estate companies, including investment and asset managers, family offices, real estate investment trusts, private equity and institutional investors, as well as representatives of real estate debt funds, REITs and investment companies.
