IMN Family Office East 2026
Marketing Activation & ROI Plan
The execution layer for our capital-raise strategy — every LinkedIn post, email, ad unit, landing page and printed asset drafted and shown as the audience will see it, on a week-by-week runbook — engineered around one number: 1–2 new Fund V LP commitments.
Prepared by David Ramos, Marketing · for Eduardo & Mauricio Greener · July 2026 · Builds on the MREP conference strategy deck (J. / S.)
One LP commitment repays this entire program ~17×
Everything below is sized against fund economics, not marketing vanity metrics. We spend like a capital raise, and we measure like one.

Presenter deep-dive
The right 360 people, in our backyard
- Family offices allocate ~25% to direct real estate and are actively seeking proven operators — the event's own thesis (IMN).
- Perfect mandate match: Sun Belt multifamily is the room's #1 conversation. MREP's $1.8B track record is the credential.
- Home-turf advantage: Loews Coral Gables. We host, we don't visit — private dinner, local credibility, zero logistics friction.
- 12 named priority targets already mapped (Bulltick, WE Family Office, Djuric FO, Neman Ventures, L Investments…) — several are on stage Day 1.
- Matchmaking app opens ~Sept 28 (one month out). Attendee list + in-app meetings = we arrive with a full calendar, not a badge.

From 360 attendees to 1–2 signed LPs — every stage has an owner and a channel
Conversion assumptions (editable in the ROI model): 60% of conversations → meetings · 50% → diligence · 40% → commitment. Conservative vs. a curated-dinner pipeline.
Two tables, two nets
Oct 26 · 7:30pm — Dinner · The Curated Net
- Who: Tier-1 Top 12 — invited 3 weeks out by founder-signed notes (Oct 5–9). Pre-committed before the conference starts.
- Where: Premium private room, Coral Gables (Palme d'Or or equivalent) · ~$200–250/head.
- How: No presentation. Conversation-led; track record on a tablet only if it comes up organically.
- The ask: "Can we find 30 minutes in November?"
Oct 27 · 12:15–2:15 — Closing Lunch · The Live Net
- Where: Private room at Americana Kitchen — inside the Loews, an elevator ride from the final session. Zero travel friction.
- Size & cost: 12–15 covers · ~$80/head → ~$1.5K all-in w/ svc & tax. Fixed two-course menu so the 2 hours go to conversation, not ordering.
- How seats fill: Live. Strong Day-1/Day-2 conversations get invited on the spot — printed lunch card in every team member's pocket + same-day DM.
- Why it works: Conference ends 12:00 — we catch out-of-town targets in the dead zone before flights, and give dinner guests a second, deeper touch.
Presenter deep-dive
Where the real meetings happen
- Dedicated private dining space + chef's table — booked through Loews events
- 12–15 covers · fixed two-course menu · ~$80/head
- Guests are already in the building — zero travel friction before flights
- A Gables landmark for 40+ years — wood-paneled private rooms built for exactly this crowd
- Formal private dining program for business dinners & receptions
- ~0.5 mi from the Loews — a 3-minute car, guests arrive fresh
- The showpiece option from Jeff C.'s original plan — maximum occasion signal
- Biltmore's landmark setting is itself a conversation piece
- ~1.5 mi from the Loews · availability & private salon capacity to confirm
Photo frames are placeholders by design — official gallery images from the venue sites (links above) drop straight in for the final version. Send me a folder of selects and I'll embed them so the deck stays a single self-contained file.
Three ways in — we recommend B
IMN doesn't publish sponsor pricing; figures marked est. are placeholders benchmarked to comparable FO conferences — to be replaced with Todd Rosenberg's quote (sponsorIMN@informa.com) the week of July 6.
A · Attend & Activate
- 2–3 delegate passes, no sponsorship
- Full digital program + private dinner
- No closed-door access, no branding, no attendee list
Lowest cost, but we work the room as guests — and the closed-door FO meeting stays shut.
B · Mid-Tier Sponsor
- Silver/Bronze-level package (~$20–30K est.)
- Brand on stage + attendee list access
- Negotiate closed-door FO meeting access into the package
- Full digital program + dinner + collateral
Best ROI balance: credibility signal + list + the highest-value hour of the event (Day 2 closed door).
C · Premium / Speaking
- Gold-level (~$40–50K est.) w/ panel seat
- A founder on stage in front of every target at once
- Closed-door access typically included
Upgrade only if IMN confirms a speaking slot on a family-office panel — otherwise B captures 90% of the value.

Directional model for decision-making — excludes pref-hurdle mechanics, fee offsets and org-cost recycling. Finance to refine before any external use. Nothing here is shown outside this room.
$12K to $65K — what each tier actually buys
Same funnel, four spend levels, three conversion cases. Conversations rise with spend for concrete reasons: sponsor list access pre-books meetings, the closed-door hour puts us in front of principals competitors never meet, and paid familiarity lifts every cold approach. Live: this table recalculates off the check-size, fee and multiple sliders in Section 07.
Conversion cases (conversation → signed LP, compound): conservative 7% · base 12% · strong 18%. Base ≈ the Oxford Economics in-person benchmark applied across our 4-stage funnel; strong assumes the dinner/lunch system performs. MREP's own Fund I–IV meeting-to-commit history (Jeff C.) will replace these with house numbers.
The numbers behind the assumptions
Sources: Deloitte Family Office Insights Series 2024 · Oxford Economics, "The Return on Investment of Business Travel" · informaconnect.com/imn-family-office-east · MREP internal track record. Conversion cases in Section 08 are planning assumptions built on these benchmarks, not guarantees.
Everyone wants this capital. Here's our edge.
- The sponsor bench is advisors, not operators: current sponsors are Forvis Mazars (Gold), BDO, IRA Club, RealAdvice (Silver), Acxtus and DWS (Bronze) — accountants, custodians and allocators. A sponsoring operator stands out immediately.
- But the floor is contested: every GP attendee is raising, and this stage has hosted aggressive capital-raisers before (2025 lineup included Cardone Capital). The 360 attendees will hear dozens of pitches over two days.
- Attendee math: a principal leaves with ~30 cards and returns perhaps 3 follow-ups. The entire system in this deck is engineered to be all three.
| Moment | The typical GP in the room | Momentum |
|---|---|---|
| Before | Badge scan, maybe a booth | 6 weeks in their feed + app meetings pre-booked + founder dinner invite in their inbox |
| Evening 1 | Crowded cocktail hour | Hosting 12–15 principals at a private table |
| Day 2 close | Airport Uber | Hosting the closing lunch downstairs at Americana |
| Follow-up | Template blast, deck attached, within a week | Founder-signed personal note in 48 hrs; deck only on request |
| Air cover | None | Retargeting keeps MREP in feed through November decisions |
| Geography | Flew in | Home turf — host, not visitor |
Twelve posts, zero improvisation
- Cadence: Mon + Thu, Sept 14 → Oct 22. Daily burst Oct 26–29.
- Pillars: Sun Belt POV (50%) · firm & Miami story (25%) · event presence (25%).
- Amplification: founders + deal team reshare within 2 hours — 3–5× reach, zero spend.
- Target layer: page follows + comments on all Top-12 targets, weeks 1–6.
- Approval: all 12 drafted by Aug 7, one 30-min sign-off Aug 14. Nothing written game-week.
Public = brand-level only. No fund terms, no return targets (counsel checkpoint Jul 10).

As it appears in their feed
All 12 posts ship as finished copy + designed visuals for the Aug 14 sign-off. Founder reshares take 30 seconds each — I send the nudge.
Six sends. Zero blasts.
- Sep 22 · Warm-up — house list & known FO contacts. Goal: pre-booked Loews meetings.
- Oct 5–9 · Dinner invitations — 1:1 from the founders to the Top 12 + reserves. The highest-leverage send of the program.
- Oct 26–27 · Live lunch invites — same-day DM from the floor team: "Join us at Americana tomorrow, 12:15."
- Oct 28–29 · Tier 1 & Tier 2 — founder-signed dinner follow-ups + deal-team meeting follow-ups. All within 48 hours.
- Nov 17 · Nurture — market note + Investor Briefing invitation to every remaining connection.
Deliberately plain-text: every 1:1 email ships without design — it must read personal, not campaign. The Nov 17 nurture is the program's only branded send. CRM logs every send, open and reply.

360 family offices.
Runs Oct 28 → Dec 5 to site visitors & engagers only — drives the gated Q4 Sun Belt outlook → email capture → 1:1 outreach.

Five decisions, and we're in motion this week
Sponsorship posture. Approve Scenario B as the negotiating target (~$45K all-in program) and a walk-away cap. I email Todd Rosenberg the moment we agree.
Counsel checkpoint. 30 minutes with fund counsel to confirm the 506(b) guardrails on public content. Everything I've shown is built to pass this review.
Paid media budget. Approve ~$4K (LinkedIn + Meta, warm audiences, brand-level creative, kill switch Dec 5).
Your calendars. Hold Oct 25–27 fully — including the dinner you're hosting on the 26th and the closing lunch at Americana on the 27th (12:15–2:15) — and protect Nov 9–21 blocks for LP meetings.
Founder voice. Dinner invitations and T+48 follow-ups go out over your names. I draft everything; you approve in one 20-minute session per batch.
