Nationally recognized leaders bring unmatched expertise in real estate investment to premier economic summit happening in Tinley Park
The Southland Development Authority (SDA) is excited to announce that renowned real estate investor and women's empowerment advocate, Nely Galán, and business visionary and founder of Canada's largest real estate conference, Seth Ferguson, have been added to the lineup of speakers for this summer's ACHIEVE Summit 2025 conference in Tinley Park, Illinois. This news comes after an exciting reveal of Daymond John, Star of ABC's Shark Tank, as the conference's keynote speaker.
Set for June 27-29 at the Tinley Park Convention Center, the ACHIEVE Summit is designed to unlock generational wealth through real estate investment and entrepreneurship. Attendees will include developers, brokers, agents, appraisers, lenders, contractors, legal and accounting professionals-anyone seeking to thrive in the real estate ecosystem.
Nely Galán brings decades of experience in real estate investing and media as a self-made mogul and former President of Entertainment at Telemundo. Through strategic real estate investments, she has built significant personal wealth and helped countless others do the same. Her best-selling book, Self Made, outlines her journey and provides a roadmap for financial independence through entrepreneurship and smart investing, including her famous line, “Don't buy shoes, buy buildings.” At ACHIEVE, Nely will share her blueprint for building an engine for generational wealth through real estate.
“I'm speaking at the ACHIEVE Summit because we all need to be reminded: No one is coming to save us. We have to save ourselves-and each other-by building wealth, buying buildings, and showing up for our future,” Galán said.
Curating world-class stages that create major movements is Seth Ferguson's specialty. As the founder of The Powerhouse Conference, Canada's #1 business event for entrepreneurs, investors, and visionaries, Seth is an expert at helping investors build wealth without losing sleep and has shared the stage with the likes of Alex Rodriguez, Grant Cardone, Kevin O'Leary, and Robert Herjavec.
“I'm thrilled to be speaking at the ACHIEVE Summit,” said Ferguson. “The Southland Development Authority is creating an incredible space for investors and entrepreneurs to connect, learn, and grow. Real breakthroughs happen when we push beyond our comfort zones-and I'm here to help make those leaps strategic, scalable, and profitable.”
The ACHIEVE Summit 2025 will be a transformative experience for business owners, real estate developers, investors, and ambitious professionals. Attendees will have the opportunity to unlock financial opportunities, forge game-changing partnerships, and gain insider knowledge that drives revenue. The summit's agenda includes dynamic keynotes, networking events, and workshops on generational wealth, real estate investment, personal fulfillment, and entrepreneurship.
“Nely Galán and Seth Ferguson will be dynamic additions to the ACHIEVE Summit stage. Nely's journey as a self-made media mogul and real estate investor perfectly captures the entrepreneurial spirit of this summit,” said Bo Kemp, CEO of the Southland Development Authority. “Together with Seth's deep expertise in real estate and business growth, their voices will bring game-changing insight and energy to inspire bold moves and unlock new opportunities across our region and beyond.”
