More than 200 top owners & developers already confirmed to join Ascent & Escape, 2022 dates announced

NEW YORK, Feb. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Bisnow, commercial real estate's leading B2B platform, today announced the 2022 dates for its elite Ascent & Escape conferences. The back-to-back events will be held during the week of November 7-11, both at the 1Hotel South Beach.

Owners, developers and investors from across the commercial real estate industry will be in attendance, with more than 200 top leaders already signed on to attend the retreats this autumn.

Bisnow CEO Will Friend commented: "There's nothing better than an attendee telling us they met someone at the retreat that helped forge a multi-million dollar deal for their business. That's the key to our success and why so many participants come back. I must admit, with spots selling out in record time last year, we discussed whether we should expand the event–but the magic of Ascent and Escape lies in their ability to build real connections and opportunities that drive insane value for our participants."

Both retreats are exclusively comprised of senior executives. Invitations are hand-selected and curated, with a mix of operators, developers, GP and LP equity, debt funds, and direct lenders making up more than 90% of the audience. Partnerships are extremely limited to best-in-class service providers, like longtime sponsor of the retreats Ackman-Ziff.

Simon Ziff, President of the preeminent boutique capital advisory firm, shared: "With Escape and Ascent, Bisnow has created an exciting environment where I can establish and enhance important relationships with key industry participants across the country."
