The C-Suite: Global Real Estate and Why It Matters

The Charlotte region has cemented its role as a global business hub, attracting domestic and international investment across residential and commercial real estate. As global mobility and cross-border transactions accelerate, the meaning of "local" real estate is evolving—creating new opportunities for agents ready to think bigger. That momentum helped spark the launch of Canopy Global in 2024, with expanded programming rolling out throughout 2025. Through education, networking, and pathways like the National Association of Realtors® Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS) designation, Canopy Global is preparing Realtors® to compete and lead on an international stage.  Join host 2026 Canopy President Joan B. Goode as she talks with Katie Reisinger, COO, Leading RE of the World, and Jessica Edgerton, Chief Legal Officer and EVP of Industry and Learning for the Global Network, Leading Real Estate of the World.
