2026 CRE Insight Journal Conference & Expo

The CRE Insight Journal Conference & Expo is where insight meets implementation in commercial real estate.

This premier educational and relationship building experience brings together property managers, facility managers, asset managers, owners, building engineers, and other CRE professionals two days of strategic education combined with practical takeaways, while building meaningful industry connections. The event is built around the real-world operational challenges and leadership decisions facing CRE professionals right now across all asset types.

Conference sessions are led by experienced industry experts and thought leaders and are designed to translate strategic insight into operational execution, equipping attendees with tools, frameworks, and best practices to benefit the people and properties they serve.

All asset managers, property managers, facility managers, building engineers and other professionals employed by a CRE management company may attend the CRE Insight Journal Expo. Individuals who are with companies providing products and services to property professionals who are not exhibiting may participate in the May 19 conference but will not be allowed on the trade show floor on May 20.

In a world of distractions, feeling stressed, anxious, and uncertain about your future is easy. Don't let another year (or decade) pass by without finding the clarity you need for life and work. You’ll learn how to turn intention into action, silence your self-doubt, and align your daily life with what matters most.
