The CCIM Institute Spring Forum: Elevate Your Commercial Real Estate Career in Miami

In a world where digital connections are more common than ever, face-to-face interactions remain invaluable. Deals are built on trust, expertise, and personal connections — and the best way to establish those is by meeting industry peers in person. Whether you’re looking to expand your investment portfolio, gain deeper market insights, or connect with seasoned CCIM Designees, this is the place to be. 

What to Do at 2025 Spring Forum  

The CCIM Institute is dedicated to preparing the next generation of commercial real estate professionals for success. The Miami District is proud to host the “Foundations for Success in Commercial Real Estate” course, a must-attend for candidates making their way to the CCIM Designation. 

Nothing compares to building relationships in person, and the 2025 Spring Forum is designed to create authentic connections in a dynamic, collaborative environment. With the addition of Networking & Dealmaking Lounge sponsored by the Florida Realtors, attendees can meet and engage with CCIM Designees, candidates, and industry leaders in a relaxed setting designed to foster meaningful conversations and business relationships. CCIMs can also submit open deals to display in the Lounge throughout the event.
