The BEC Difference
- Quality, Collaborative Community: 95% of BEC attendees have been involved in at least one CRE deal in the past nine months, ensuring a high-caliber crowd. This experienced, humble, and collaborative community has led to countless partnerships and deals, making it a breeding ground for success.
- Abundant Networking Opportunities: Whether you prefer online research, meeting in small groups, carefully organized speed networking, 1-1 meetings, or bumping into people at the gym or the bar, every moment of the Best Ever Conference is carefully designed to maximize opportunities for you to meet the right people, on your terms.
- No Sales from the Stage (except during the Pitch Slam): We carefully curate the program based on current pressing topics, and choose the best speakers to present on those topics. We aim for diversity of thought from engaging storytellers with unique insights and no motivation to sell you anything.

What Others Are Saying
"Lastly, if you did not make it Best Ever Conference this year, you need to be there next year. I do not get paid anything for this endorsement, its just a fact. I will make millions of dollars over time from the relationships/experience I gained last week, that is absolutely worth the cost of traveling and admission!
Joseph CornwellReal Estate Invesotor 
“The BEC community was like none other that I have experienced in my professional life. I have attended conferences in the past, but I have never attended a conference where over 1,000 attendees were so eager to meet and collaborate with one another. If I had to summarize the whole conference in just one word, it would be ‘thoughtfulness.’ Well done!”
Lili TsengReal Estate Investor: Multifamily, CRE, Syndications 
“If you are getting sick of hearing about the Best Ever Conference last week in SLC, sorry, not sorry. It was an amazing conference with such a diverse group of investors and vendors. I'm telling you, if you have not been there, you need to be there in 2025!”

Excellent choice of hotel, and the amenities are awesome. I like how restaurants are within walking distance.” —BEC 2023 Attendee
Salt Lake city Hyatt Regency
Opened in October 2022, the Hyatt Regency is less than 20 minutes from the airport, yet right in the middle of all the best restaurants, bars, and culture in Salt Lake City.
Better yet, it’s a mere 40-minute drive from Park City Mountain (the largest ski resort in the U.S.), so you can extend your trip and head to the mountains with all your BEC friends.
But here’s the best ever reason to stay at the Hyatt: You’ll be in the middle of all of the conference action. You never know who you might bump into at the coffee shop or on the elevator…
Rooms are just $229 per night with our special event room block. Book your room here before they sell out.
