Akerman is proud to host the 2026 Leading Ladies of Real Estate Speaker Series, presented by Commercial Real Estate Women (CREW) New York. This year marks thirteen years of collaboration on this distinguished program. A hallmark of the summer season, the series includes influential voices in commercial real estate for thoughtful dialogue, actionable insights, and meaningful connection. This series will feature three sessions, each designed to inspire and equip attendees through candid conversations with women who are shaping the future of the CRE industry.

We are honored to welcome Lisa Gomez, Chief Executive Officer of L+M Development Partners, as the featured speaker for the opening session on June 10.

These events offer the opportunity to engage directly with industry leaders in an environment that fosters connection, collaboration, and professional growth. CREW New York and Akerman remain deeply committed to advancing leadership, visibility, and opportunity for women across the commercial real estate landscape.
