Manhattan, NY AFD Contract Furniture’s (AFD) CEO, David Aarons, has been invited to serve on the Host Commitee for CoreNet Global’s 2025 Eastern Regional Symposium (ERS) in New York City. Taking place June 2025, the event is typically attended by over 400 real estate professionals.

CoreNet’s ERS presents an informative two-day schedule of panel conversations, educational opportunities, site tours, and networking opportunities for commercial real estate and commercial interiors industry members. As part of the ERS Host Committee, Aarons will help in the planning of content for event programs and appoint keynote speakers and panelists. The committee appointment further establishes Aarons as a leader and key influencer in the commercial interiors and real estate industries. 

“ERS has always been an opportunity that I find especially important given the nature of content, the intimate setting in which it takes place, and the relationships that are enhanced and formed between industry professionals and end users,” said Aarons. “Having been an attendee and sponsor of ERS over the years, it is an honor to serve on the host committee and put my practical real-world experience to work.”

Aarons holds a BA from Emory University and a master’s degree in management from the University of Florida. Aarons holds a Master of Science in Real Estate, with a concentration in Asset Management from New York University, where he has also served as an adjunct professor at the Schack Institute of Real Estate teaching courses on the Principles of Real Estate.
