Where Exclusivity Meets Influence

In the world of luxury, true power lies in exclusivity, scarcity, and being the first to know. The very essence of what drives elite buyers to seek what others cannot access.

UPFRONTS™, the premier invite-only forum for the world’s most influential power brokers, returns for its third year—curated by The SOCIETY Group™ and presented in partnership with The Wall Street Journal. This is where never-before-seen insights are unveiled behind closed doors, and real connections shape the future of real estate.

In 2025, we expand our reach to London and Dubai, uniting the most formidable minds in development, architecture, and investment across global markets. This is not just an event—it is a movement reserved for those who demand first access, unparalleled intelligence, and the right audience.

At The SOCIETY Group™, we don’t just create moments—we orchestrate the moments that define industries.

By Invitation Only. Strictly Confidential.
