3οΈβ£ Strongest IMN Conference for Real Estate Buyers
If your client sells to real estate owners, operators and investors, I would prioritize the IMN events in roughly this order:
Single Family Rental East , Single Family Rental West , Real Estate Private Funds , Family Office & Private Wealth , Residential Ground-Up Construction , Real Estate Asset Management
The best event changes based on the client product.
4οΈβ£ Attendance Scale
There is no valid single attendance number for βIMN Conferences 2025 & 2026β because these are separate conferences.
SFR events
IMN's SFR East and West ecosystem attracts 1,500+ industry professionals across the leading SFR conferences, including investors, operators, builders, lenders and providers.
Real Estate Private Funds Summer 2026
The official 2026 conference page reported:
550+ senior decision-makers
including:
200+ CEOs and Managing Partners
and an audience spanning:
Real Estate PE Funds , LPs , Investors , Lenders , Owner Operators , Developers.
The 2025 summer event promoted 400+ senior decision-makers , 150+ CEOs and Managing Partners.
Winter Private Funds
IMN promoted its winter private-funds conference to a community of 1,200+ CRE professionals.
So a vendor advertising 3,000+ βIMN attendeesβ across 2025 and 2026 may be aggregating several conferences rather than describing one physical event.

Overall B2B list value 10/10
The catch is that IMN must be segmented by conference. Combining a family-office event, SFR forum, distressed CRE conference and private-funds conference into one flat list will dilute targeting.

SFR East , SFR West , Private Funds , Family Office , CFO & COO , Distressed CRE , Asset Management , Ground-Up Construction
A combined βIMNβ file can contain thousands of relevant people, but segmentation is where the money hides.
