2022 Visions, Insights & Perspectives (VIP) Americas

2022 Visions, Insights & Perspectives (VIP) Americas

January 24 - 26, 2022 | Park Hyatt Aviara | Carlsbad, CA


VIP Americas is our flagship event that is anticipated by the industry's top investment managers, investors and consultants. It is "THE" place to meet the right people.

VIP delivers a quality agenda that is marketing-free. It upholds a strict ratio of 3 managers to every 1 investor. This ensures that attendees are able to really engage and get to know one another. Our audience is also capped so that the event is kept at a size that fosters relationship building. During the event there are several opportunities to socialize with attendees. Whether you are discussing critical industry issues as a part of a roundtable breakout session or at an off-site recreational activity, VIP gives you an excellent networking platform to establish new relationships and strengthen existing.

Registration is open to qualified investors and subscribers to our Institutional Real Estate Americas publication. To find out more details about registration and our publication, please contact our Events Department at events@irei.com or +1 925-244-0500.

Registration Information:

We are committed to producing VIP Americas and like many of us, IREI is navigating through the challenges of being able to meet in-person while adhering to the ever-changing challenges that COVID continues to present. IREI’s goal is to make in-person attendance at VIP as easy and safe as possible.

  • California has also extended the indoor mask mandates; therefore, all attendees will be required to wear a mask indoors at all times.
