Connecting Future Real Estate Professionals with Industry

The Alberta Real Estate Foundation (AREF) and NAIT Corporate and Continuing Education's Real Estate program are partnering to give NAIT real estate students the opportunity to attend RAECON 2026, one of the REALTORS® Association of Edmonton's largest professional development and networking events.

By attending the conference, students will learn alongside practicing REALTORS®, explore current trends and issues shaping the profession, and connect with real estate professionals and industry partners from across the Greater Edmonton region. The experience will complement classroom learning with direct exposure to the people, ideas, and conversations shaping Alberta's real estate sector.

Supporting student participation in RAECON will help emerging professionals build industry knowledge, develop professional networks, and gain a stronger understanding of the opportunities and expectations they will encounter as they begin their real estate careers.
