Explore Our Chapters

Global Connections

Meet and collaborate with developers, investors, city leaders, service providers, and decision-makers across markets—while staying rooted in your local REF chapter. REF’s chapter model enables strong local engagement while unlocking national and global reach, allowing members to build influence and relationships market by market.

Targeted Insights

Gain strategic advice from experienced professionals who are solving the same development, financing, entitlement, and execution challenges you face—through curated discussions and chapter-led conversations. Insights are practical, experience-driven, and grounded in real projects—not theory.

Thought Leadership

Learn directly from guest speakers, policy-makers, city officials, and innovators shaping the future of real estate. Members benefit from chapter-wise sessions, policy discussions, and access to curated content available within the REF web platform.

Real Relationships

REF prioritizes meaningful relationships over surface-level networking. Connect with peers, partners, and mentors who understand your business, speak your language, and operate within the same real-world constraints.

Accelerated Growth

Discover new financing models, technology tools, and partnership opportunities that help you scale projects faster and more strategically by learning from others who have already navigated similar paths.

Smart Exposure

Leverage REF’s chapter events and technology-driven platform to stay visible, relevant, and connected throughout the year. Service providers and sponsors benefit from consistent exposure—both during live chapter events and through the REF digital ecosystem.
