9:15 AM - status of private wealth & commercial real estate
With private wealth increasingly stepping into roles once dominated by institutions, RIAs and wealth managers have become key architects of capital flows into commercial real estate. This panel brings together leading advisors to unpack how their clients are viewing today’s market, what types of real estate exposures they’re seeking, and how portfolio construction is shifting amid higher rates, tighter credit, and evolving tax considerations. We’ll explore the products gaining traction—from private credit and DSTs to co-GP and direct deals—the risk frameworks advisors are using, and how they evaluate sponsors in a more selective environment. Attendees will gain a front-line perspective on how high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth investors are allocating, what they’re avoiding, and where advisors see opportunity in the next cycle.
Speakers: Paul Padovani, Chief Investment Officer, Innovative Capital Solutions
10:05 AM - raising capital in the age of ai
Artificial intelligence is reshaping every stage of the capital-raising process—from sourcing LPs and managing pipelines to diligence, investor communication, and fund operations. This session brings together managers, technologists, and capital advisors using AI to accelerate their raise, sharpen targeting, and reduce friction with investors. We’ll explore how AI is changing outbound strategies, data-driven LP mapping, personalization at scale, attribution tracking, content generation, and compliance workflows—along with the competitive edge early adopters are gaining. The discussion will also cover emerging norms around transparency, authenticity, and trust as LPs grow more sophisticated in evaluating digital-first fundraising tactics. Attendees will walk away with a candid view of what’s working, what’s noise, and how to integrate AI into a high-leverage capital-raising stack for 2026 and beyond.
Speaker: William Hollis, Founder & CEO, Raise AI

11:10 AM - caribbean and latam- a opportunity for diversification
The Caribbean and Latin America continue to attract private wealth looking for diversification, resilient yield, and exposure to rapidly growing real-asset markets. This session brings together regional developers, cross-border advisors, and private-wealth experts to provide a 360° view of where the real opportunities are—and how to access them intelligently. Speakers will discuss the on-the-ground realities driving demand across hospitality, residential, industrial, energy, and infrastructure, alongside the tax, regulatory, and geopolitical considerations investors must navigate. We’ll highlight the jurisdictions drawing family offices, the projects gaining momentum, and the structures that can enhance after-tax returns. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how to evaluate, diligence, and participate in Caribbean and LATAM deals that can strengthen a diversified portfolio.

2:50 PM - miami development projects
Miami continues to attract global capital, talent, and migration—and its development pipeline reflects a city in the middle of a transformational growth cycle. This session spotlights some of the most notable projects currently shaping Miami’s skyline and neighborhoods, with developers walking through their vision, capital stacks, timelines, and the market forces driving demand. We’ll explore trends across multifamily, mixed-use, office, hospitality, and waterfront redevelopment, along with how developers are navigating construction costs, permitting, financing conditions, and pre-leasing realities. Attendees will get an inside look at what’s being built, why these projects pencil, and how Miami’s next generation of development is redefining the city’s trajectory.
3:40 PM - NETWORKING BREAK
3:55 PM - investing in luxury hospitality
Luxury hospitality continues to outperform broader real estate sectors, driven by global wealth expansion, experiential travel, and the blurring lines between hospitality, branded residential, and lifestyle assets. This panel brings together leading developers, operators, and private-wealth advisors to break down what’s driving returns in the high-end segment—and where the next wave of opportunity sits. We’ll explore deal structures, underwriting assumptions, the role of brand partnerships, how operating models are evolving, and why HNW and family-office capital is increasingly targeting this space. Expect a candid look at development economics, financing trends, demand drivers, and the market dynamics shaping luxury hotels and resort communities across the U.S., Caribbean, and LATAM.

Overlapping with the Family Office Day, this session zeroes in specifically on how family offices are approaching commercial real estate going into 2026. Bringing together active principals, CIOs, and advisors, the discussion will highlight how long-term capital is interpreting today’s pricing, debt availability, and risk environment—and where they see compelling entry points across property types. We’ll cover shifts in portfolio construction, direct vs. fund allocations, co-GP participation, private credit strategies, tax-efficient structuring, and the themes shaping their real estate playbooks for the next cycle.
