Best Ever Conference
The Best Ever Conference is a three-day commercial real estate event for passive and active investors, held at the Hyatt Regency Salt Lake City. The 2026 edition ran February 18-20, with pre-conference workshops the day before, on February 17.
Sessions cover multifamily, office, retail, industrial, and emerging asset classes, alongside market trends and economic forecasts from economists and industry speakers, with content tailored separately for passive and active strategies. Organizers say speakers focus on sharing insights rather than selling products. Networking is structured rather than incidental: a GP-LP speed networking session runs four-minute introductions by invitation, a live pitch session puts investor deals in front of a panel of experienced limited partners, and a partner-hunting event sorts attendees by whether their strength is vision-setting or execution.
General Admission is $995 and includes keynotes, the economic summit, lunch on two days, entry to the party, and on-demand access to recorded sessions. Conference Plus at $1195 adds the partner-hunting event and all pre-conference workshops, otherwise $150 each. VIP at $2195 adds a speaker party plus private VIP breakfasts and lunches. Accredited limited partners can buy a flat $895 ticket; the conference defines an accredited LP as someone with individual income above $200,000, or $300,000 for a married couple, for the last two years and a net worth over $1 million excluding a primary residence, and reserves the right to request documentation.
Organizers say 95% of attendees have closed at least one commercial real estate deal in the past nine months, and describe 1,000+ investors attending. Ticket prices rise as the event approaches. The page carries both the 2026 dates and a reference to the following year's tickets, so dates, venue, and pricing for a future edition should be confirmed directly.
Best for
Syndication sponsors raising capital and accredited limited partners looking for operators, who want structured GP-LP networking rather than a trade show floor. Less useful for investors who have not yet closed a deal, since the audience is described as active closers.

Organizers reserve the right to request further proof of accreditation and to charge for the correct ticket type.
