Present at CREID

Every CREID monthly meeting features guest presentations from people doing real work in commercial real estate. Not polished pitches. Not sponsored content. Actual experience — deals analyzed, strategies tested, lessons learned in the Southwest Missouri market.

If you've closed a deal worth talking about, developed a perspective on a specific asset class, or have knowledge that would genuinely help this community make better decisions, the CREID stage is available to you.

Presentations run as part of the 6–8 PM meeting format and typically include 20–30 minutes of content followed by audience Q&A. No fee. No sales pitch required. Just substance.

  • ✅ Relevance to the Southwest Missouri market
  • ✅ Willingness to take audience Q&A

Topic Ideas We'd Love to Hear

  • Self-storage, multi-family, industrial, or NNN deep dives
  • Commercial lending — what lenders actually want to see
  • 1031 exchange mechanics and strategy
  • Adaptive reuse and development in SW Missouri
  • Market outlook: what's coming in our region

There is no fee to present at CREID. Guest presenters are selected based on the relevance and quality of their proposed topic. If you're interested in presenting as part of a sponsorship package, see the Presenting Sponsor option on the Get Involved page.
