ABOUT THE EVENT
 

Our anchor event for members with AUM and capital at risk within BTR, Serviced Residential and Hospitality Assets, looking to foster further dealflow and match product to capital.

Unlike a conference, GRI Beds Europe is a special price discovery experience, with bespoke networking opportunities fostered through lucky encounters, pre-arranged matchmaking and open conversations driven by your peers.

In our unique discussion setting, participants come together to collaboratively create deal flow across asset classes, investment solutions, and countries - all whilst forging valuable connections.

Find your ideal business partners, cultivate valuable relationships, and continue these conversations through members-only Club Meetings held throughout the year and on our innovative online platform.
