Technology, capital reinvestment, and shifting customer expectations anchor the agenda.
Sevan Multi-Site Solutions, a national multi-site program management, architecture, engineering, and construction firm, will put the future on display as it holds its 2026 Symposium and Sevan Charitable Foundation Golf Classic Sept. 14–16 at the Hilton Chicago/Oak Brook Hills Resort and Willow Crest Golf Club in Oak Brook, Illinois. The event will bring together more than 100 leaders from over 35 companies and organizations spanning retail, restaurant, grocery, fuel, healthcare, hospitality, and government programs nationwide.
The annual Symposium is designed for candid conversation and best-practice sharing among clients, partners, and Sevan leaders navigating cost pressure, labor constraints, shifting customer expectations, and new technology across complex, multi-site programs. The day-long program on Sept. 15 opens with a keynote from Alison Levine. A New York Times bestselling author, Levin led the first American Women's Everest Expedition and completed the Adventure Grand Slam, a feat achieved by only a small number of people worldwide. Her remarks on decision-making amid uncertainty will set the tone for a series of fireside conversations, panels and hosted roundtables throughout the day.
“The companies represented and leaders in attendance lead some of the most complex multi-site programs in the country,” Sevan CEO and Founder Jim Evans said. “They make decisions that affect thousands of sites, significant capital, and the teams responsible for turning plans into results. The goal is to leave with useful ideas, new connections, and actions they can put to work immediately.”
Featured sessions include fireside conversations with Avolta and Sprouts Farmers Market on organizing work at scale and aligning program structure with portfolio priorities, along with panel discussions on reinvestment strategy and the realities of construction in today's market. The day concludes with hosted roundtables covering program management, real estate development, architecture and engineering, construction, permitting, reality capture and BIM services, and technology and data analytics.
The event closes Sept. 16 with the Sevan Charitable Foundation Golf Classic at Willow Crest Golf Club, supporting five organizations serving communities where Sevan works, lives, and plays: Ronald McDonald House Charities Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana, USO Illinois, ShareBuilt, Blood Cancer United and Fisher House Foundation.
