MBA CREF 2027 Commercial/Multifamily Finance Convention and Expo

Held by the Mortgage Bankers Association, this conference is geared to professionals active in commercial and multifamily real estate finance who want a current read on the market and time with industry counterparties. The program is positioned around market intelligence sessions and networking for lenders, investors, and intermediaries, making it most relevant for teams focused on origination, underwriting, capital markets, servicing, and investment activity across commercial and multifamily assets.

Taking place February 7-10, 2027 at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego, the event sits within MBA’s broader commercial/multifamily education and research platform. The official event materials emphasize the association’s ongoing work in areas such as origination, underwriting, valuation and appraisal, closing and loan documentation, and commercial/multifamily market research, which helps frame the convention as a place to hear industry perspectives and connect those discussions to day-to-day lending and investment decisions.

Who should attend

This is a fit for commercial mortgage bankers, multifamily finance professionals, agency and balance-sheet lenders, debt and equity investors, intermediaries, and other CRE finance decision-makers looking for a concentrated industry gathering rather than a property operations or development-focused event. Attendees evaluating whether to go should expect a finance-oriented conference agenda and structured networking centered on the commercial and multifamily capital stack.
