RE:Futures
Welcome to RE:Futures!
RE:Futures is a comprehensive network of training, support and networking opportunities. Our aim is to inspire, connect and elevate the next generation of real estate professionals.
RE:Futures will champion a more inclusive, forward-thinking real estate industry, amplifying underrepresented voices, driving systematic change, and shaping a built environment fit for the future.
Membership
Membership will be free for junior professionals and open to individuals with 0 – 15 years of experience working in the real estate sector.
Everyone is welcome - you do not need to work for a company member of RE:UK to join. RE:Futures brings together AREF FutureGen, BPF Futures and IPF Future Leaders to create an even bigger and better network than before.
Joining During the Transition
You can't join RE:Futures directly yet, however all members of the three merging next gen networks will automatically have their membership transferred.
In the meantime, we encourage you to join BPF Futures to be kept up to date with our plans for RE:Futures and gain access to events.
What you can expect
Our Structure
Member-Led
RE:Futures will be led and shaped by its members and supported by RE:UK.
The RE:Futures Steering Committee will lead and oversee RE:Futures supported by two sub-committees, one focusing on the needs of Early Careers members (typically 0-5 years of experience) and one for our Future Leaders (6-15 years of experience).
The purpose of the committees is to ensure that our activities are shaped by and led by the membership and by those who understand the needs of the audience.
The committees will be responsible for generating ideas and activity plans, setting strategic goals, and working with RE:UK staff to ensure a consistent, high-quality offer for members.
RE:Futures Leadership
We are delighted to announce the three Chairs of RE:Futures. Jo Jackson, current chair of IPF Future Leaders and IPF Director and main board member, will be the new Chair of RE:Futures. Alexander Davies, current Chair of AREF FutureGen will be the new Chair of the Future Leaders committee and Gafar Fashola, current Chair of BPF Futures will be the new Chair of the Early Careers committee.
