ICF Hosts the 2023 Yale Alumni Real Estate Association Annual Conference at Evans Hall

Around 200 attendees joined us at Evans Hall on Friday, October 27, 2023 for the Yale Alumni Real Estate Association Conference. The Yale AREA Conference, which has convened at Yale since 2008, provides alumni, students and faculty a chance to engage with leading thinkers in real estate—and with one another. The purpose of the conference is broader than simply an industry gathering. Instead, it is a venue to focus on new ideas and trends that have a potential impact on the fabric of our communities.
