ATLANTA: Harry Norman | Forbes Global Properties, Georgia’s exclusive representative of the Forbes Global Properties international network of selected real estate brokerages, is pleased to announce its participation in the 2026 Regional Meeting on Oct. 22 at Forbes on Fifth, 24 Fifth Ave., New York. Hosted by Platinum Forbes Global Properties, the invitation-only forum will bring together members for curated discussions, networking, and insights into the evolving real estate landscape. Todd Emerson, president and CEO of Harry Norman | Forbes Global Properties, will join the panel “Global Perspectives: What’s Shaping Real Estate.”

“It’s a privilege to join real estate leaders from across the Forbes Global Properties network for a conversation about the trends and forces shaping our industry,” said Emerson, President and CEO of Harry Norman | Forbes Global Properties. “Real estate is deeply influenced by local market dynamics, but understanding the broader forces shaping the industry is essential to anticipating what comes next. Atlanta continues to attract interest from buyers nationally and internationally, and bringing that market perspective to a global conversation is an opportunity to share what we’re seeing here while learning from leaders navigating their own markets around the world.”

Set against the backdrop of New York City’s dynamic real estate market, the Regional Meeting will feature fireside chats, expert presentations and panels with distinguished industry voices. Sherry Phillips, CEO of Forbes, and Peter Hung, president of Forbes, will attend alongside members and guests.

“New York City is a hub for global real estate, making it the ideal setting for our regional leaders attending from around the globe. This gathering allows our members to share what they’re seeing on the ground, resulting in sharper perspectives, stronger partnerships and the confidence to guide clients through a market that never stands still,” said Michael Jalbert, CEO of Forbes Global Properties.

Among the featured discussions is “Inverting the Sales Funnel: Why You Don’t Want ‘Leads,’” featuring Jalbert and Matt Beall, chair of the board at Forbes Global Properties and CEO and founder of Hawai‘i Life. A panel on the forces shaping global real estate, moderated by El Moriarty, COO of Forbes Global Properties, will bring together brokerage leaders to compare perspectives across markets. In “Building New York: A Conversation on Development & Opportunity,” Khashy Eyn, founder and chairman of Platinum Forbes Global Properties, and Nathan Berman, managing principal and founder of MetroLoft, will discuss New York City’s development landscape.

Other sessions will examine the application of artificial intelligence in real estate, the role of creative content in communicating the value of exceptional properties, and the perspectives of leading agents navigating their respective markets. The program will also feature contributions from Forbes Global Properties editors, alongside speakers from Concierge Auctions and Forbes Travel Guide, extending the conversation to property marketing, storytelling and the broader experiences associated with exceptional real estate.
