Past Conferences

Community Spaces Network has a long history of hosting various conferences throughout the years, in many locations across North America.

From ā€˜Collaborating for Successā€™ to ā€˜Building Opportunitiesā€™ to ā€˜Sharing Innovationā€™ to our current conference, the Social Purpose Real Estate (SPRE) Summit, we are proud to have brought so many community leaders together for thought leadership, best practices, networking, and collaboration in the nonprofit and social purpose real estate sectors.

Our interdisciplinary conferences are for social purpose real estate leaders across North America; intentionally including various perspectives in the conversation. At our conferences, together we establish and grow the collaborative network necessary to create community-serving, community-owned real estate assets, so that ultimately social purpose real estate leaders can support greater impact in local communities.
