2025 ARES Annual Conference in Arizona

The American Real Estate Society (ARES) has announced that its 2025 Annual Conference will be held from April 8-12 at the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort in Tucson, Arizona. The event is expected to bring together real estate professionals, scholars, investors, and policymakers to examine the latest trends, challenges, and innovations in the real estate sector.

This year’s conference will feature a robust program, including presentations, workshops, and networking opportunities. Topics will cover a wide range of key issues such as housing affordability, disaster recovery, urban planning, sustainability, and cutting-edge technologies like AI and blockchain in real estate. Attendees will also engage in sessions aimed at addressing real-world problems, including how to meet housing demands in rapidly growing regions like the Sun Belt and how to build resilient, sustainable communities.

A significant focus of the conference will be on Southern Arizona, which is undergoing substantial growth in urban development, housing, and infrastructure. The city of Tucson, in particular, is at the forefront of revitalization efforts, with investments in logistics, sustainability, and urban renewal projects. One of the standout regional projects to be discussed is the Sonoran Corridor Project, which focuses on logistics, industrial development, and supply chain innovation in the region.

The conference will attract a diverse audience, including academics, institutional and private investors, city planners, economists, and real estate executives. Alongside informative sessions, participants will have the opportunity to take part in leadership training and technical workshops, designed to address key challenges facing the real estate industry.

With themes centered around portfolio resilience, the integration of technology, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategies, and the economic development of real estate in an evolving market, the ARES Annual Conference will provide invaluable insights into the future of the industry. Tucson's growing role in the real estate landscape makes it an ideal setting for the event, which promises to provide attendees with both local perspectives and national insights
