NEW YORK CITY—The CoreNet Global New York City chapter hosted its 2019 Annual Dinner at the American Museum of Natural History. The organization is an educational and networking group that works to advance innovation and professional development for corporate real estate professionals.
CoreNet Global NYC has approximately 1,000 members from workplaces that range in size from smaller businesses up through the city's largest publicly held corporations and Fortune 500 companies generating over $1 billion in annual revenue.
This year more than 820 people attended the party at the Upper West Side museum where CoreNet has hosted the event in past years. The group has also held the dinner on the USS Intrepid and at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
"The Annual Dinner is the result of a year's worth of planning and has become the city's marquee social event for New York City's deep corporate real estate end-user ecosystem," says Jason Aster, chair of the CoreNet Global NYC chapter. "It's truly special to volunteer for, and engage with an organization capable of serving its constituents in such a spectacular manner."
He adds, "I mean, who gets to spend time drinking and eating amongst dinosaurs and whales?"
Each year the dinner raises operational funds for the chapter to provide programming, education and networking events. The organization also offers opportunities to give back to the community through volunteering and fundraising.
This year CoreNet Global NYC awarded scholarships to four students pursuing careers in corporate real estate: Kelly Smolenski from NYU's Schack Institute of Real Estate; Hanna Cassorla from Columbia Business School, Nathalia Valle from Fordham Gabelli School of Business; and Albert Matlock from Pratt Institute.
