Spots are filling fast. Once this room is full, it's full.

Lazaro Vento. They call him Laz.

Before Airbnb had ten listings in the entire city of Miami, Laz was already stacking reservations.

He started selling Bentleys, Rolls-Royces, and Bugattis. Best year? $400K. Then he bet everything on a cigar lounge and lost $2.5 million. House gone. Savings gone.

All he had left was a real estate license and the audacity to knock on doors in Little Haiti when everyone else called it the ghetto.

He rented every house on the block. Put them all on Airbnb. Bought a tiny house for $1,500 off Facebook Marketplace and turned it into a destination. Built systems that became the regulatory blueprint for short-term rentals in the entire state of Florida.

Made $500K in two days selling mentorships. Highest ticket? $22,000. And unlike the gurus who never owned a single listing... Laz had receipts.

Last deal? Turned a $500K property into a $2M exit in seven months.

Spots are limited. When this room is full, it's full.

Spots are limited. When they're gone, they're gone.

We've told you why this exists. We've told you why 500 is just the beginning. Now let's talk about why Miami.

Because nobody in the history of conferences has ever dreaded a trip to Miami.

But this isn't just vibes and palm trees. Miami has quietly become one of the most important commercial real estate markets in the country.

The Numbers

This isn't a beach town with some office buildings. This is an institutional-grade market that happens to have incredible weather.

The Cardone Effect

Love him or hate him, Grant Cardone put Miami on the map for commercial real estate. $5 billion AUM. 10X Corporate Centre in North Miami. Real Estate Summits drawing thousands. He didn't just invest in Miami — he branded it.

What's Next

The first three episodes were the foundation. Origin. Vision. City. Now the podcast pivots into what's actually moving in commercial real estate — capital raising, fund structures, LP psychology, deal flow, and the trends shaping the market heading into 2026 and beyond.

The room is being built. Tell your wife to start packing.

The commercial real estate conference scene is in retreat. Events that used to draw thousands are scaling back, going virtual, or quietly disappearing. While everyone else pulls back, we're pushing forward.

500 isn't a cap. It's the foundation. Year one. The floor, not the ceiling.

This is modeled after what a good friend has built in a completely different sector - a resource investment conference that started in a room and grew into one of the biggest gatherings in its entire industry. Same playbook, applied to commercial real estate.

The first 500 people set the DNA. Fund managers. Operators. Capital raisers. LPs who actually deploy. When this grows, the people in the room for year one are the ones who shaped the culture.

Limited spots. When they're gone, they're gone.

Get in while the getting in is easy. Because next year, you're going to wish you did.

The commercial real estate conference scene is falling apart. Major conferences are shutting down, downsizing, or turning into glorified networking happy hours with bad panels and worse energy.

Two guys noticed it: Adam Carswell and Cameron Iuvancigh. They've been in these rooms for years. They watched the quality nosedive. Instead of complaining about it, they decided to build the room themselves.

That's how this was born.

World-class speakers who've done the thing they're talking about. An exhibition hall designed for real conversations and serious deal flow. Limited spots. When they're gone, they're gone.

If you're going to be in one room this year, make it this one.
