ABOUT US
The BUILT Approach
BUILT is a dedicated event created to connect retail construction and development teams with the vendors who help bring their projects to life. Designed for efficiency and real relationship-building, BUILT brings together decision-makers from expanding retail brands and trusted service providers across construction, engineering, signage, facilities, and more.
Our mission is simple: streamline the way retailers find qualified partners and give vendors direct access to the teams overseeing new builds, remodels, and rollout programs. BUILT delivers a focused, high-value environment where meaningful connections become real opportunities—and where the right partners meet at the right time.
Meet the Team!
We don’t just host CRE networking events, we are licensed agents actively working in the commercial real estate industry. We understand what our attendees want to gain from a networking event because we have the same needs. We work hard to bring our attendees the best experience at the best value at every BUILT event.
