Highlights from Connect CRE Los Angeles 2026 (VIDEO)

In addition to more than 500 industry professionals in attendance, Connect CRE Los Angeles 2026 had a formidable array of speakers. These included the current Mayor, Karen Bass, a former Mayor and current candidate for Governor, Antonio Villaraigosa; and a lineup of other heavy hitters from the worlds of development, financing, investment, economics and government. 

The video below summarizes the candid discussions that took place onstage at the Intercontinental Los Angeles Downtown at the May 28 conference. Later this year, the Connect Events team will be back in LA for more in-person events, including Connect Apartments (Sept. 22) and Connect Retail West and Connect Healthcare (both in November; dates TBA).
