Agenda

  • Drinks, Hors d'Oeuvres, and a Power Women Celebration!

Power Series: Women of Influence in Commercial Real Estate

Bisnow has combed the news, bent the ears of market pros, and consulted with CREW DC (no one knows better) to find the women in commercial real estate who have made the biggest impact and who have the most influence in the industry.

No list is perfect, and we hope you let us know everyone we left off, but we know one thing: these women know how to break through the glass ceiling.

Sign up today to join Bisnow and the honorees for beer, wine, hors d'oeuvres, and an evening celebrating the top women in D.C. commercial real estate!

Do you know, or work with, a Women of Influence in CRE? We'd love to hear about them! Please send your nominations to Marie Armstrong at Marie@Bisnow.com!

**Bisnow is excited to donate a portion of the event proceeds to Girl Scouts Nation’s Capital**
