Since its inception in 2006, the annual Trends in Real Estate & Capital Markets Forum was created to provide educational opportunities in real estate and finance to students of the University of Missouri.

The Forum is an educational conference hosted by the University of Missouri Trulaske College of Business and sponsored by JES Holdings, LLC. The mission of the Forum is to create the very best environment and opportunities for students of the university to meet and interact with business professionals and leaders from the real estate community. This experience gives students a more hands-on understanding and allows them to receive practical knowledge not found in textbooks.

The Forum is a day-long event that includes a lunch, keynote speaker and student competition.

Nearly 800 students, professors, business leaders and employers will come together to attend the educational conference. Business students can earn 20 Professional Development Points by attending the entire event. The event is free for students, but advance registration is required.
