C5 + CCIM Global Summit 2025 Chicago

The 2025 C5 + CCIM Global Summit, scheduled for September 16–18 at the Hilton Chicago, is a premier event in the commercial real estate (CRE) industry. Jointly hosted by the National Association of REALTORS® and the CCIM Institute, the summit aims to bring together a diverse array of professionals—including brokers, investors, developers, and economic development corporations—for three days of networking, dealmaking, and industry insights.

Attendees can expect a comprehensive agenda covering topics such as economic forecasts, capital markets, proptech, AI, global investment strategies, and sector-specific trends in office, industrial, retail, and multifamily real estate. The event will feature keynote sessions, breakout discussions, and field experiences that offer on-site learning at innovative CRE projects. Notable speakers include Cassie Kozykov and Bill Rancic, among others.

The summit also offers an interactive expo where participants can showcase investment opportunities and connect with decision-makers ready to engage in transactions. With a significant portion of attendees reporting annual transaction volumes exceeding $5 million, the event serves as a catalyst for substantial business development.
