Join Us For The 2026 Lincoln Park Builders Real Estate Forum

Lincoln Park Builders of Chicago



The countdown is on to the 37th annual Real Estate Forum, hosted by the Lincoln Park Builders of Chicago, and Taylor Johnson is pleased to announce a limited number of individual tickets are now available for the 2026 event, taking place Thursday, Nov. 19. Regularly drawing more than 1,000 industry professionals for an evening that combines networking, socializing and dealmaking with an insightful speaker program, the Forum is widely considered one of Chicago’s premier commercial real estate gatherings. This year’s panel discussion, titled “Chicago Real Estate Beyond the Headlines: Risk, Resilience and Opportunity,” will feature distinguished leaders from their respective fields exploring the challenges, opportunities and narratives shaping the current industry landscape.

Proud to provide event management services for the Forum since 2012, Taylor Johnson continues to play an integral role in the event’s planning and day-of execution. We hope you’ll mark your calendar and count yourself among the who’s who of Chicago real estate joining us for the 2026 Forum at Theater on the Lake. If you’re interested in sponsoring the Forum, select opportunities are still available through tomorrow — learn more here. And, if you need assistance with planning a real estate event of your own, please contact Emily Johnson to learn how Taylor Johnson can help.
