In preparation for our Women of Influence special feature and retreat, Real Estate Forum and GlobeSt.com together is putting a spotlight on the achievements of women in commercial real estate. This year, we collected nominations across a number of fields, with the awards to be presented at our inaugural GlobeSt.ELITE Women of Influence Conference and this year's amount of entries, was our biggest yet.

The field of marketing and communication professionals was open to in-house or third-party marketing, media relations and communications professionals acting on behalf of commercial real estate organizations. These individuals have achieved outstanding results through initiatives that demonstrate innovative strategies and outcomes. In addition to their reputation within the industry and relationships with clients and outlets, these professionals should also have a proven track record of strategic planning and research, business development, working with management, communications, education and innovation.

Since 1983, Forum's Women of Influence has recognized remarkable commercial real estate professionals who have significantly influenced the market or had outstanding successes in the past year. It is in that spirit that we're launching our first-ever Women of Influence Conference will celebrate the women who drive the commercial real estate industry forward.

At this year's event, we will honor the winners at the event July 10-11th in Broomfield, CO, at a special awards ceremony cocktail reception and gala dinner. The inaugural GlobeSt.ELITE Women of Influence Conference celebrates the women who drive the commercial real estate industry forward. In panel discussions throughout the event, these influential leaders will discuss the critical issues facing CRE now and in the future, what it means to be a woman in business today and CRE's place in the #MeToo era. They will discuss what they are doing to promote diversity in the upper levels of management and what the industry can do to position itself for a more inclusive future.
