The most senior real estate and infrastructure club on Earth

I've been coming to GRI events for many years now. Every time I do so, I remember why I like to come: because I can meet so many different people in a very special environment. It's a very effective networking network.

The format was EXCELENT! I really liked it, because the speakers were very knowledgeable, the platform was easy to access, and we could get info easier and with no delay. I think you should seriously consider it for future initiatives. Even though nothing can replace the actual one-to-one, physical connection with people, some events could definitely be organized electronically/remotellly. This saves precious time for all of us, while keeping us connected.

The GRI team organized on short notice several eCoffees. In all of them we had a very open and fruitful conversation with the other participants, who have been high ranking professionals with an excellent knowledge of the respective markets. Many thanks to the GRI team for the excellent idea to create these eCoffees

GRI eCoffees are a great alternative to physical meetings in this particular context. Through a short an informal discussion you can develop your network with peers from your Infrastructure sector.

What makes GRI different is that you have the opportunity to interact with your peers and decision markers. It’s informal, the discussions are not structured, so they often go in different directions.

It's relatively focused and you are not going to diverge and talk about everything and anything which is good. You keep everybody involved and have an honest chat about what people are doing and what they are expecting in the future.

For us at Colliers, one of the biggest reasons why we became a club sponsor - it gives us the opportunity to really have to only true open and frank conversation amongst people on the investment banking and legal side and you don't really get that anywhere else. We are able to discuss topics and share our views in form where you don't have to worry about being politically correct all the time and you can say what you feel in the market and you make honest predictions and you really get the feedback you don't get anywhere else.

Very casual, very open and small discussions where you get to really exchange about topics that matter and that concern us all in the industry.

The event’s participation demographic is very diverse and is characterised by great expertise. The GRI discussion format gives opportunities to candidly converse and to connect with each other.

The GRI format is completely new and innovative. They don’t really have many competitors. It’s a distinct format, that makes their discussions quite interactive, participative and very exciting for us.

eCoffee probed to be a feasible way to continue networking in this pandemic times. Good initiative.
