Submit an Event Idea to CREFC

In response to the overwhelming interest from CRE Finance Council members to host and sponsor CREFC After-Work Seminars, as well as Young Professional and Women’s Network events; CREFC is pleased to announce our new Event Planner* that allows members and potential event sponsors to submit their requests to CREFC online and receive a response within one week.

The Event Planner not only makes it easier for you to propose and plan events with CREFC staff, but also helps to ensure all events are scheduled and planned for success, with the optimal venue, panelists, and member outreach. Our goal in introducing the Event Planner is to ensure an efficiently planned, organized and thus successful event.

Please refer to our event guidelines links below before utilizing the Event Planner and submitting your requests.

CREFC Speaker and Panel Participation Policy.  CREFC’s policy, as directed by its Board of Governors, is to assign CREFC conference and after-work-seminar speaking roles and panel slots based on each potential participant’s individual expertise related to the topical theme of the program and not based on other factors such as member sponsorships.  The Board of Governors adopted this policy to ensure that CREFC is in the best position to secure the best possible speakers and panel participants for all CREFC events.  In addition, the opinions that each speaker and panel participant expresses when speaking at a CREFC-sponsored event are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of CREFC or of CREFC’s members.
