GEM Diamond Events

Gatherings for Industry Leaders

Our exclusive events are where proptech's best connect and converse

One of the key features of GEM Diamond Membership is the opportunity to connect with fellow innovators through our exclusive, invite-only events, held both in-person and virtually.

You're likely already know your peers. But chances are good, you don't know the C-level of adjacent proptech sectors. That's why our events aim to broaden your network beyond the usual—connecting you with leaders and innovators across various sectors and stages of development. Dive into a world of new perspectives and opportunities, and engage with minds that challenge and complement your own.

*Take the hot seat by reaching out to our Community email to set up a time for discussion
