ROAM Real Estate Inc. attended The Magnificent Mile® Association’s 2026 Annual Fall Tourism Program yesterday at the Fairmont Chicago, Millennium Park. 🏙️
Our biggest takeaway: optimism and teamwork among industry leaders committed to strengthening Chicago’s tourism industry and welcoming visitors from around the world.
At ROAM, our work in retail, restaurant and hospitality real estate reflects our commitment to the businesses that give Chicago its character. We help owners and operators find the right spaces to grow, and we’re proud members of The Magnificent Mile® Association and partners with Choose Chicago.
We heard valuable perspectives from:
• Kimberly Bares, President & CEO, The Magnificent Mile® Association
• Kristen Reynolds, President & CEO, Choose Chicago
• Michael Jacobson, President & CEO, Illinois Hotel & Lodging Association
• Fred Dixon, President & CEO, Brand USA
• Nichole Benolken, Managing Director, 360 CHICAGO, who moderated the panel
With Chicago voted Best Big City in the U.S. by Condé Nast Traveler readers for the 10th consecutive year, there’s plenty to celebrate! Michigan Avenue continues to evolve, welcoming international travelers, families and locals to explore everything it has to offer.
Proud to call Chicago home—and to be part of its future. 💙
