Our 2026 Central State of the Market event brought together some of the nation’s top leaders for a forward-focused conversation on innovation, artificial intelligence, and what’s next for commercial real estate.
Through a series of forums and panels, experts explored evolving office and industrial dynamics, the growing influence of AI, and the strategies driving continued momentum in a rapidly changing landscape. Attendees left with actionable insights, a clearer perspective, and meaningful opportunities to connect —all centered on redefining value in the age of intelligence.

Office Forum Leaders: Matt Asvestas, Lucian Bukowski, Rachel Coulter, Scott Ferguson, Patrick Russo, Adam Showalter, Matt Wieser
Industrial Forum Leaders: Kevin Cosgrove, Heath Donica, Matt Dornak, Brian Duffy, Matteson Hamilton, Seth Koschak, Sam Owen
