Real Estate Meetings

What Real Estate Meetings does

Real Estate Meetings (REM) is a privately held Swiss B2B event management company founded in 2013/2014 and headquartered in the Vaud canton of Switzerland. The company organizes a portfolio of regional business events serving construction and real estate professionals across Switzerland, with a flagship annual gathering (REM SWISS, now in its 8th edition) plus eight recurring regional events spanning Geneva, Zürich, Lausanne, Fribourg, Valais, Neuchâtel, Bonmont, and additional travel and themed formats. Its core product is the physical event itself — multi-day conferences pairing keynote programming, networking, and sponsor exhibitions — and it generates revenue primarily through partnership and sponsorship packages sold to enterprises seeking access to the Swiss real estate professional audience.

REM's product portfolio extends beyond events into adjacent media and community assets: the Prix de l'Innovation annual award program, the REM Podcast series featuring industry figures, a real estate market newsletter, REM Society (a year-round community platform), and REM Communication (marketing services for the Swiss real estate community). The flagship REM SWISS 2026 drew 4,500+ participants, 150+ partners, and 120+ speakers, with disclosed sponsors including Agefi, Swisscaution, Tayo, GefiSwiss, and the Canton de Vaud. The company operates with a lean team of approximately 8 employees and has organized over 100 events across more than a decade of operation.

The business model is event-driven and partnership-funded: there are no disclosed ticket prices, no public pricing model, and no disclosed revenue figures. Sponsorship and partnership packages are sold to real estate, construction, and PropTech-adjacent firms seeking targeted access to Swiss industry decision-makers. REM is privately held with no disclosed external investors, no funding rounds, and no parent company, suggesting founder-led organic growth. Geographic scope is exclusively Switzerland, with the recent addition of REM Zürich indicating a deliberate push into the German-speaking market beyond the original Romandie base.

Direct peers

• MIPIM: MIPIM, organized by RX (RELX), is the world's leading real estate trade fair held annually in Cannes. It is directly comparable to REM SWISS as a flagship B2B real estate industry event with a partner/sponsor model targeting developers, investors, and service providers.
• Expo Real: Expo Real, organized by Messe München in Munich, is a major annual European real estate trade fair with a comparable B2B format, partner/exhibitor monetization, and audience of real estate professionals across the DACH region and beyond.
• Immo Messe Schweiz / Immosuisse: Immo Messe Schweiz is a Swiss real estate trade fair held in Zurich that overlaps with REM's regional Zurich event. It competes for the same Swiss real estate professional audience and partner/sponsor pool.

Regional players

• SIMI (Salon de l'Immobilier d'Entreprise): SIMI is the leading French commercial real estate event held annually in Paris. It overlaps with REM's audience and event format but operates primarily in France rather than Switzerland, making it a regional rather than direct competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Urban Land Institute (ULI) Europe: ULI is a global real estate research and education organization that runs industry conferences, summits, and networking events. While broader and more membership-driven than REM, it addresses the same real estate professional audience with similar event formats.
• FIABCI: FIABCI is the International Real Estate Federation running real estate congresses and networking events globally. It addresses the same audience as REM (developers, investors, brokers) but as part of a wider international portfolio.
• EY Real Estate Roundtable: EY's real estate events program (including roundtables and summits) is run by a Big Four firm targeting real estate executives and investors. It overlaps with REM's audience but is part of a much larger professional services portfolio.
• REALTY (real estate event series by Reed Exhibitions / RX): RX (Reed Exhibitions) operates multiple regional real estate event brands similar to REM's portfolio. As a global incumbent, RX competes with scaled resources and similar B2B event formats targeting the same real estate industry verticals.
