Forums

Where Real Conversations Happen

The Symposium Forums are a new way to connect, collaborate, and dive deep into the topics shaping the future of real estate. Designed as interactive, discussion-based sessions, each Forum brings together a curated group of up to 50 participants— professionals, students, and Harvard professors—who share a common interest in a specific topic.

No lectures, no panels—just engaging conversations led by a student and professor, where ideas flow freely, titles are left at the door, and fresh perspectives emerge. Some Forums will feature key industry leaders sharing their expertise, others will center around case studies for collaborative problem-solving, and some will explore best practices from firms across the country.

We are continuously developing more Forums to tailor discussions to different interests, ensuring that you can find your passion and community within our conference.
