Côte d’Azur Sotheby’s International Realty at the 2026 Global Networking Event in San Francisco

From October 6 to 8, 2026, Sotheby’s International Realty will bring together members of its global network in San Francisco for the Global Networking Event, GNE, one of the brand’s most important international gatherings.

This year’s edition holds particular significance as Sotheby’s International Realty celebrates its 50th anniversary. Under the theme “Fifty years forward”, GNE 2026 will celebrate five decades of international growth while looking ahead to the connections, opportunities and ambitions that will shape the future of the network.

Held at Moscone Center West in the heart of San Francisco, the event will welcome Sotheby’s International Realty sales associates, managers and broker/owners from markets around the world. Over three days, meetings, conversations and networking opportunities will strengthen relationships across the network and encourage new business connections and international referrals.

Representing the French Riviera in San Francisco

Côte d’Azur Sotheby’s International Realty will be represented by Frédéric Barth of our Private Desk, the division dedicated to our most prestigious properties and to transactions requiring the highest levels of discretion, expertise and personalized service.

His presence in San Francisco provides a valuable opportunity to further strengthen the relationship between the French Riviera and the North American market, while introducing some of our region’s most exceptional properties and opportunities to members of the international Sotheby’s International Realty network.

This is precisely where the strength of a truly global real estate network comes into its own. Beyond international brand recognition, direct relationships between Sotheby’s International Realty professionals facilitate introductions and referrals across markets. Owners on the French Riviera can benefit from connections with qualified contacts in the United States, while American buyers considering a home or investment in the South of France can rely on dedicated local expertise throughout their project.
