Bisnow is seeking nominations for the Chicago area’s best and brightest women working in commercial real estate for its third annual celebration of Women Leading Real Estate.

We want you to tell us about the visionaries, innovators, rising stars, leaders and dealmakers paving the way for the industry and their teams, making things happen and getting things done.

The annual event, to be held March 18, will celebrate the inspiring women delivering equal parts success and example for their teams across commercial real estate.

The event includes an awards ceremony, a panel discussion and ample opportunities for networking. Most of all, it celebrates the diversity, talent and mentorship of the honorees, shining a spotlight on those setting the mark for the next generation in what remains a male-dominated industry.

Bisnow is taking nominations in the following categories:

• Leader of the Year: Women who demonstrated exceptional leadership and continued efforts to move the industry forward throughout 2024. 
• Innovator of the Year: Women who excelled in driving innovation in CRE and used new or innovative ideas to drive the industry.
• Dealmaker of the Year: Women who made a significant contribution to one or more deals in the Chicago market.
• Rising Star of the Year: Women who have been in the industry for 10 years or fewer and made a significant impact on the market or largely contributed to a major project.
