Dear Prospective Reconvener,

How do you build the kind of relationships that can move your real estate career forward, in a world where social media is overflowing with AI slop?

You put yourself in the room (or, in this case, several different rooms) with high quality operators and passive investors trying to do the same thing.

That’s Reconvene, and here’s how we make it happen:

Reconvene begins early evening on Tuesday, September 16, with dinner at one of Venice, CA’s most popular restaurants. We’ll catch up with old friends and start making new ones over some excellent food and wine (and beer for the cowboys among us, never fear).

The event continues the morning of Wednesday, September 17, with a menu of informal activities, including a run on the boardwalk, our (in)famous ocean plunge, and more. By this point, you’re hopefully into your second conversation with some of those new people and you’re starting to get to know each other a bit.

Next we do hand-curated, small group breakfasts on the beach. Our goal is to put you with people you *should* know (based on the markets and asset classes that interest you).

After breakfast come the Breakouts: Small group conversations and presentations organized around specific topics of interest to the attendees.

This year, instead of us dictating the content of the Breakouts, we’ll offer every ticket-holder the opportunity to self-nominate to host, then ask a committee of repeat attendees to select the most interesting ones for inclusion in the event. (Because there will be more choices, each Breakout should be smaller than in years past, allowing for more intimate conversations.)

Breakouts last throughout the day, with each attendee attending four of their choosing (including one where we’ll serve lunch). After the final round of Breakouts, we’ll have a late afternoon break so you can nap, catch up on emails, shower, etc.

Then, we’ll send you and another small group of hand-curated companions out to dinner at one of LA’s best restaurants (on us, of course).

Thursday morning, September 18, starts with excellent coffee and a light breakfast in Santa Monica. Then, we’ll hear mainstage talks from three of the sharpest minds in real estate. This year, we have decided to take the talks entirely off-the-record, so that our speakers can go into considerably more detail about their businesses than is usually the case.

Finally, we’ll go outside for the now-famous Reconvene Taco Truck Lunch, where we’ll gorge ourselves on the food for which LA is justly famous (washed down with appropriately cold beer, for those who indulge).

And that’s a wrap on a few days of very intense conversations about real estate. If you’re like attendees from previous years, you’ll head home with a mind full of tactics and strategies to try out, a list of new contacts to call for advice, capital and more, and (pretty likely) some new friends.

Kind Regards,
Moses Kagan
