Description

Join us for the 2026 NC CCIM Triangle Economic Forum — a premier gathering designed to illuminate the forces shaping the future of commercial real estate across the Triangle.

This year’s program places a strategic spotlight on infrastructure and transportation—two pivotal drivers influencing market growth, investment opportunity, and regional competitiveness.

We are proud to feature a dynamic panel of industry experts, moderated by Sheila Knight, CCIM, whose leadership and extensive experience will shape an insightful conversation on the evolving infrastructure landscape and its impact on CRE development, site selection, mobility, and long-term planning across the Triangle. Panelists include Loren Hill of the Carolina Core Project, Chris Johnson, Economic Developer for Johnston County, and Ryan Combs, Executive Director of the Research Triangle Regional Partnership.

Adding powerful perspective, our keynote address will be delivered by Michael Cline, North Carolina’s State Demographer. His data-driven insights will unpack demographic trends, population shifts, and future projections that are critical to understanding where and how our markets will grow.

Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with top thought leaders, gain clarity on the region’s most influential infrastructure initiatives, and position yourself ahead of emerging CRE opportunities in 2026 and beyond.
