We’re still riding the momentum from ICSC Las Vegas 2026. From the vibrant energy on the convention floor to the insightful conversations with both new and familiar faces, this year’s event was filled with meaningful connections and exciting opportunities.
The conference resulted in promising leads, new partnerships, and valuable discussions that are already translating into action. Since returning to Chicago, we’ve hit the ground running and are looking forward to what’s ahead.
Take a look back at some of the highlights that made this year’s ICSC such a rewarding experience.
Booth #4330Q, a Showstopper
ICSC Las Vegas 2026 also marked the debut of our reimagined exhibit experience.
The response from attendees was overwhelmingly positive. The comments included the booth’s fresh design, welcoming atmosphere, and standout presence on the convention floor.
More importantly, the booth accomplished exactly what it was designed to do: create an environment where conversations could happen naturally. We believe the best business is built on face-to-face discussions, and the new booth helped us do just that.

The Team Behind the Booth
A special thank you goes out to Exhibit Studio LLC for their outstanding work and support leading up to and throughout the entire three-day event. Their creativity, professionalism, and attention to detail helped bring our vision to life, and the booth looked fantastic.
We truly appreciate the partnership and look forward to working together again next year.
Conversations that Create Opportunity
ICSC is always bringing together the who’s who in and around commercial real estate from national retailers and restaurant operators to developers. One of the biggest takeaways from this year’s conference was the strong level of interest in our available properties and services.
Conversations focused on how our team can create value through thoughtful redevelopment, strategic leasing, and long-term community investment. The show generated opportunities from Greensburg, Indiana to Naperville, Illinois, involving national retailers, franchise groups, developers, municipalities, etc.
Let’s take a glimpse of opportunities that await us in 2026 and beyond.
