Let’s Get Social, the premier networking event for commercial real estate influencers and social media personalities, is officially returning to ICSC Las Vegas 2026 for its 12th consecutive year. Hosted by theBrokerList, the iconic kickoff cocktail party will take place Monday, May 18, 2026, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at The Sports Bar inside the Aria Resort.
Since launching in 2015 as a grassroots meetup idea from David Perlmutter of Perlmutter Properties, Let’s Get Social has grown into the must-attend kickoff event of ICSC Las Vegas — the largest gathering of retail real estate professionals in the world. The event connects the most active CRE voices on LinkedIn, X (Twitter), and Instagram with brokers, owners, tenant reps, marketers, and PropTech innovators in a relaxed, in-person setting.
“Let’s Get Social is more than a party — it’s a celebration of the relationships that power our industry,” said Linda Day Harrison, founder of theBrokerList and longtime event host. “Every year, attendees turn online connections into real-world deals, friendships, and collaborations. There’s nothing else like it during ICSC week.”
What to Expect at Let’s Get Social 2026
- Open bar and complimentary drinks for officially registered guests with a name badge
- Photography and videography capturing content attendees can use throughout the year
- Curated networking with retail CRE’s most influential brokers, investors, and digital creators
- Casual, high-energy atmosphere designed to kick off ICSC week on the right note
The 2025 event drew a packed house at The Sports Bar and was widely recognized as one of the standout networking moments of ICSC Las Vegas. Organizers expect the 2026 gathering to be even larger as the retail CRE community continues its post-pandemic rebound and renewed focus on in-person dealmaking.
“Let’s Get Social is one of the few CRE events where the content practically writes itself,” said Edward Winslow, founder of CRE Press Releases and a longtime digital marketing strategist for the commercial real estate industry. “The brokers who show up don’t just leave with new connections — they leave with photos, quotes, and stories they can turn into press releases, case studies, and search-optimized content all year long. In a market where visibility drives deal flow, that kind of organic exposure is hard to beat.”
