Join us in Tallinn and be part of the discussion on how to shape the Future of Real Estate in the region.

Main Topic of the Nordic Real Estate Forum 2022 is Challenges and Opportunities in Real Estate.

The goal of the Nordic Real Estate Forum is to become the leading real estate forum in the Nordic and Baltic countries.

You have a possibility to listen to the TOP Keynote Speakers and take part of the discussion panels. Due to the challenging times, we have decided to organize a hybrid conference. This means that the forum will also be broadcasted online for those not able to travel to Tallinn.

For 18 years we have held the largest real estate conference in Baltics. During this time, more than 5000 participants and 525 speakers from over 15 countries have been hosted.
This year, you can expect decision-makers and business leaders from Europe, Nordics, Baltics.

NOTICE! The organizers of the forum announce that according to the decision of the Government of the Republic of Estonia and the Health Board, it is mandatory to wear a mask at the forum. If you forget the mask, you can ask the organizers!
