#NAREE2026 begins Monday afternoon, June 1 at 2 PM and concludes Thursday morning, June 4, 2026. NAREE’s annual real estate journalism conference will be held at the beautiful Kimpton Epic on the water in downtown Miami.
You can see the Miami real estate story being played out from the Epic’s pool deck on the 16th floor — cranes in the air dotting a more expansive skyline of signature buildings constructed since NAREE’s last meeting here in 2021 during the Pandemic.
The area around the Epic Hotel is walkable, near the free Metromover (elevated train) and water taxis. As many may remember the Brickell Avenue Financial District is just over the Miami River Bridge to the south, while the culture arts and entertainment district including the Perez Art Museum Miami and Adrienne Arsht Center is just a bit northeast and the Wynwood Walls are not much farther to the northwest.
Each spacious Epic Hotel guest room has a balcony overlooking either the Miami skyline or the Miami River folding into Biscayne Bay. The Kimpton Epic also features two excellent restaurants, a top notch spa, and an upscale gym onsite.
So mark your calendars now and prepare to enjoy a memorable resort experience in a dynamic urban environment promising myriad real estate stories.
Conference highlights include NAREE University’s peer-to-peer career development workshop sessions for journalists, and industry trends sessions with leading commercial and residential experts, moderated by award-winning journalists. Both NAREE’s Meet the Press and NAREE’s 76th Annual Real Estate Journalism Awards presentation will be held on Wednesday, June 3. Expect plenty of additional memorable networking events and a revealing real estate tour.
