Who we are

REN (Real Estate Network) is a new kind of community for the next generation of commercial real estate professionals. Born in Chicago, REN exists to bring Chicago’s commercial real estate professionals together in a way that’s fun, relaxed, and social. Our events are all about good conversation, great company, and making connections naturally—no panels, presentations, or stiff agendas.

From casual happy hours to lively gatherings, every REN event is designed to create an atmosphere where people can meet, mingle, and enjoy the city’s vibrant social scene. At REN, it’s not about checking a networking box—it’s about connecting with the community, sharing experiences, and having a genuinely great time.
