BOMA Long Beach 2026 Recap

July 2, 2026

Posted By: Julie Taylor in BOMA International , Members in the News,

What an incredible week at the 2026 BOMA International Conference & Expo in Long Beach!

Our BOMA Oakland/EastBay members returned home inspired, energized, and equipped with new ideas to strengthen our industry and the communities we serve.

Throughout the conference, our members:

Connected with commercial real estate professionals from across the world
Explored hundreds of innovative products, technologies, and service solutions in the Expo Hall
Attended educational sessions covering leadership, property operations, sustainability, emerging technologies, and the future of commercial real estate
Celebrated the achievements of industry leaders, including the appointment of Liz Despins, Newmark, to the BOMA International Executive Committee for the 2026 to 2028 term.
Attended a moving Insight session that our Past President, Liz Despins, presented at.
Strengthened relationships with colleagues, business partners, and fellow BOMA members from across the country

One of the highlights was hosting our annual BOMA OEB Welcome Meet-Up, which brought members together to kick off the conference and reconnect with friends from across the BOMA network.

The conference reinforced what makes BOMA so valuable: sharing knowledge, building meaningful relationships, and discovering practical solutions to create smarter, safer, and more sustainable buildings. With more than 300 exhibitors showcasing the latest innovations, our members had no shortage of ideas to bring back to the East Bay.

Thank you to everyone who represented BOMA Oakland/East Bay with such enthusiasm and professionalism. A special thank you to our Associate Members who hosted us in their booths and receptions.

We look forward to putting what we learned into action and continuing to move our industry forward together.
