Student Day

Monday, June 30

Boston Convention & Exhibition Center 


Commercial real estate (CRE) is often overlooked, but every time you enter a building—whether it's a school, office, stadium, or shopping center—teams of Property Managers, Facilities Managers, and Engineers are working to ensure these spaces are safe, well-maintained, and functional. The CRE industry offers numerous lucrative career opportunities!

Jump start your career for FREE by joining Student Day at the BOMA International Conference & Expo on Monday, June 30 at the BCEC in Boston, MA. Participants will be assigned a mentor to accompany them throughout the day, making introductions to industry practitioners, answering questions, and providing guidance throughout the day's activities.
