Last Chance For Tickets To The 2026 Lincoln Park Builders Real Estate Forum

Lincoln Park Builders of Chicago

Held annually in the weeks leading up to the Lincoln Park Builders Real Estate Forum, Unobtainium is an exclusive networking event for premium Forum sponsors.


Congratulations to the Lincoln Park Builders of Chicago on hosting another successful Unobtainium last week. Held every year in the lead-up to the organization’s annual Real Estate Forum, Unobtainium is an exclusive networking event for high-level sponsors of the Forum, which is widely considered one of Chicago real estate’s premier gatherings. As a longtime supporter of the Forum through our event management services, the Taylor Johnson team is excited to once again be involved in the planning and execution of the 2026 event, which promises to be one of the best yet. Taking place next Thursday, Nov. 19, at Theater on the Lake, the 37th annual Forum will feature drinks, dinner, networking and an insightful panel discussion titled “Chicago Real Estate Beyond the Headlines: Risk, Resilience and Opportunity.” A limited number of individual tickets are still available, so purchase yours today and be among the who’s who of real estate in attendance!
