Our Commitment to your safety

We have experienced the enthusiasm of returning to live in-person events this year, having safely and successfully hosted more than 10,000 executives to date. While we are thrilled to convene together to propel growth within CRE, COVID-19 remains a worldwide concern and Bisnow is committed to practicing safe protocols at our events. You can expect the following:

 

  • Given that the overwhelming majority of the market is already fully vaccinated, we will be requiring proof of vaccination as a condition of entry to our event. Proof of vaccination can be shown via a physical card or a digital image of your records.
  • Facial coverings will be required by all staff & attendees, regardless of vaccination status. Masks will be made available at the door.
  • Temperature checks will be conducted at entry.
  • Attendance at the event will be capped and no tickets will be sold at the door.
  • Contact tracing procedures will be employed for any reported exposure.
  • Socially distanced seating will be available in the main event space.
  • Enhanced sanitization protocols will be adhered to throughout the event space including regularly disinfecting surfaces throughout the event and hand sanitizer provided to all attendees.

 

As local regulations and guidance evolve, the CRE industry continues to lead the way forward. We look forward to gathering safely to do what we do best: network, connect, and engage to do more business. We look forward to hosting you soon.

Why This Matters

What You'll Learn: 

  • With the continued growth of industrial and life science in the Bay Area, how are owners, developers and AEC professionals keeping up with the rising demand?
  • What trends are developers and investors forecasting in Q4 2021 and Q1 2022?
  • When are owners and developers anticipating the office market to rebound? How has the pandemic changed the office landscape in San Francisco?
  • Are people actually leaving San Francisco to move to the suburbs? Do multifamily owners anticipate a resurgence of young people returning to the city?
  • What is the future for San Francisco’s retail, restaurant and hospitality sectors?

 

How You'll Do More Business: The pandemic has not been easy on the most expensive cities in the US, and San Francisco is certainly no exception. According to CNN, rents in San Francisco have fallen by as much as 31% from a year ago. Since San Francisco's tech giants (such as Slack, Alphabet Inc., Twitter, and Facebook) have continued to have their employees work from home, people are looking to relocate to more spacious and affordable areas. Our all-star panelists will break down these topics, showcase their most innovative projects and shed light on the future of the market in San Francisco. Join the top minds in the market as we analyze this pivotal moment in San Francisco’s commercial real estate cycle.

 

Who Attends: Brokers, owners, developers, investors, construction, designers, architects, financial institutions, government officials and more! 

 

Why You Should Attend: Bisnow events bring together the biggest power players in the industry to identify opportunities, build your network and expand your business. With the largest audience of commercial real estate professionals in the world, no one knows how to help your business more than us. Join Bisnow as we jump into the market in Northern California to analyze its strengths and strategize on its areas of opportunity.
