The 2025 Women’s Real Estate Investment Summit, hosted by Beth Azor, is a 2-day event filled with speakers who have “done it”! They’ve invested and they are happy to share their experiences, their mistakes and successes, and things they wish they knew when they started, so that we can all learn from them.

Each attendee will leave the event armed with ideas, inspiration and examples of how it can be done. Investing not only for gazillionaires who have access to millions of dollars to invest. The women next door have invested and you will meet them live and in person and hear their stories!
