Why you should attend our 2026 Industrial Event

What You'll Learn:

Who's actively developing, investing in, and leasing DFW industrial right now and who's pulling back or entering the market for the first time
What tenants actually want in 2026: clear heights, bay depths, power specs, cold storage configurations, and flex build-outs driving product design
Where DFW's industrial development map is being redrawn and which corridors have land, infrastructure, and room to grow
Why projects are taking longer to deliver, from permitting backlogs and construction costs to labor shortages and tighter lender requirements
How utilities have become the deciding factor in where industrial gets built across North Texas
Whether to build or buy and how developers are weighing ground-up development against acquiring and repositioning existing assets

How You'll Do More Business: Join Bisnow for an in-depth look at the forces reshaping industrial development and investment across Dallas-Fort Worth. From tenant-driven product design and infrastructure constraints to shifting development corridors and tightening delivery timelines, this event connects the dots between capital, land, and execution so you can source deals, structure better investments, and position your portfolio for DFW's next phase of industrial growth. Bisnow brings together the region's top developers, owners, investors, and tenants to examine where industrial is getting built, what it takes to deliver product that leases, and how the market's best operators are growing in a more complicated environment.

Who You'll Meet:

Industrial developers and ground-up construction teams active across DFW's growth corridors
Institutional investors, private equity, and family office capital targeting industrial acquisitions and development
Lenders and debt advisors underwriting industrial construction and stabilized assets
Tenants and occupiers in logistics, e-commerce, cold storage, and advanced manufacturing
Land brokers, site selectors, and infrastructure consultants shaping where the next projects land
Architects, engineers, and contractors delivering large-format and flex industrial product
Economic development and utility leaders influencing where industrial growth is permitted and powered

Why You Should Attend: Bisnow events convene the most influential leaders in commercial real estate to identify opportunities, build meaningful connections, and drive business growth. With the largest audience of CRE professionals in the world, Bisnow delivers unmatched access to the people, projects, and insights shaping the market. Join us for a focused look at the DFW industrial market, from land and infrastructure to product design and capital, and the strategies defining its next phase of growth.
