RE&C was founded in 2021 as an open invite and informal meet-up amongst industry peers. The reason for organising our first event was to create a network that can be both exclusive and inclusive at the same time. To achieve this we believe that Real Estate & Construction networking in a cosmopolitan city, such as Berlin, benefits from an international approach to networking itself.
We exemplify our international approach to networking as follows:
We have an open-door policy – All industry peers are welcome
We primarily communicate in English - All languages are welcome to be spoken when networking
The RE&C approach to networking also has been geared towards casual evening meet-ups, with no name badge or pre-registration obligations. We typically invite a local firm to sponsor an evening and we invite that firm to say a few words at the event. Otherwise each event is an unbroken evening of networking amongst peers with no other agenda.
RE&C has been growing. We have 260 members in our LinkedIn private group at the time of publishing this website. Based on attendees and LinkedIn contacts, promotion for our events reaches a direct local audience of an estimated 800 industry peers. Our events reach a wider online audience of around 1,500 people (source: online analytics data).
RE&C started with 15 close-acquaintance attendees in 2021 and we now attract 30-50 local industry players to each of our quarterly drinks events. Of those attendees there may be up to 25% of first-time attendees. The attractiveness of the RE&C events is, we believe, our international and casual approach.
Sustainable organic growth and increased local industry engagement are our goals.
Thank you for your interest in RE&C.
