800 CRE Pros Came Ready to Network for NAIOP’s Black Tie Gala

More than 800 commercial real estate pros attended NAIOP SoCal’s Night at the Fights event themed “Up in the Air”. Held at The Hangar open-air event venue at the OC Fairgrounds, this year’s black-tie gala embraced the nostalgia and fun of flight, from hosts and hostesses dressed in retro-themed flight crew uniforms to flight-inspired décor.

The main event featured four MMA and boxing bouts. Guests experienced sunset cocktails during a pre-event “Warm-Up” followed by a gourmet dinner and drinks along with post-event round two networking with live band Dallas and Doll, casino games and cigar lounge.

“Everyone came ready to network. The commercial real estate industry loves to socialize and Night at the Fights remains the best event in Southern California to make that happen. That’s why we’re already planning for next year,” said Ryan Gallagher, Night at the Fights and Space Investment Partners founder.
