Core offering

REWomen is a not-for-profit membership organization that delivers networking events, roundtables, training courses, and collaborative research to advance gender equality and diversity in the UK real estate sector. Its core sellable offerings are an annual membership providing access to the community and event portfolio, paid sponsorship packages (Platinum and Gold tiers) for corporate partners, and ticketed events/training courses. The organization supplements these with research publications produced in partnership with academic institutions such as Warwick Business School and the University of Birmingham.

Product overview

Real Estate Women (REWomen) is a not-for-profit membership organization founded in 2012, focused on promoting gender equality and diversity in the real estate industry. Rather than a unified software platform, REWomen operates as a portfolio of interconnected programs and services including a membership program providing access to networking events, training courses, and the speaker network; organized events and roundtables covering industry topics such as gender pay gap, hedging strategies, and biodiversity; collaborative research initiatives on gender pay gap reporting; and mentorship programs supporting built environment students and graduates. The organization functions through partnerships with academic institutions (Warwick Business School, University of Birmingham) and industry sponsors rather than technology products.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Women in Property: UK-based membership association for women working in the property and construction industry. Operates regional events, awards, and student outreach programs targeting women in real estate — directly overlapping REWomen's primary member segment and sponsor base.
• CREW Network (Commercial Real Estate Women): Global commercial real estate organization for women, with CREW UK as a chapter. Closest analog to REWomen with shared mission of advancing women in commercial real estate through networking, research, and education — directly competes for the same audience and sponsors in the UK.
• NAWIC UK (National Association of Women in Construction): UK arm of the international NAWIC network supporting women in construction and the built environment. Operates events, mentorship, and advocacy with overlapping built-environment focus, partially competing for women across the broader real estate value chain REWomen serves.

Broad incumbents

• Bisnow (Women Leading Real Estate): Commercial real estate media and events company running Women Leading Real Estate events with REWomen member discount partnerships. A broader incumbent that captures the same audience through paid conferences and content with a wider industry remit.
• RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors): UK chartered body for property professionals with diversity and inclusion initiatives. As REWomen's institutional partner, RICS is a broader incumbent with its own DEI programming, member events, and research output that overlaps with REWomen's activities — competing for member attention and sponsor budget in the surveying profession.
• British Property Federation (BPF): UK trade association for the property industry with policy and DEI initiatives. As a broader incumbent with industry-wide remit, BPF occasionally intersects with REWomen's diversity agenda and competes for association-level corporate sponsorships.
• MIPIM (including MIPIM Ladies programming): Major global real estate event organizer with dedicated MIPIM Ladies networking programming. As an existing partner of REWomen, MIPIM is a broader incumbent that occasionally addresses the same women-in-real-estate audience at much larger scale, potentially drawing sponsorship away from niche players.

Emerging players

• Women in Hotels (WiH): Cross-industry networking organization for women in hospitality with joint webinars with REWomen. Comparable membership-and-events model serving a different vertical — useful as a structural peer for operating-model benchmarking rather than direct competition.

Others

• CREFC Europe (Commercial Real Estate Finance Council Europe): Trade association for European commercial real estate finance, with which REWomen partners on joint events. Adjacent ecosystem player serving a related but distinct audience (CRE finance professionals) with overlapping speaker networks and sponsor relationships.

Regional players

• Women in Real Estate Spain: Spanish women-in-real-estate network that partnered with REWomen on Madrid events. Operates the same member-network model in a different geography, comparable in approach and mission though not directly competing in UK territory.
