NEW YORK, NY – September 9, 2026 – CREtech, the world’s leading community of professionals devoted to innovation in the built world, today announced a featured main stage session at CREtech New York 2026, taking place October 20–21 at the Javits Center in New York City.
The session, “Asset Strategy at Scale: People, Data, and Software as One System,” will bring together Samit Batra, Senior Director, Real Estate Asset Strategy at Walmart, and Aonghus Stevens, Founder and CEO of Asseti, for a one-on-one discussion on how large organizations can bring together people, property data and technology to make better real estate decisions across complex portfolios.
The session is sponsored by Asseti and will take place on October 20 at 2:30 PM on the Main Stage.
Managing real estate at scale requires more than adding new software. It requires connecting teams, systems and information in a way that gives decision-makers a clearer view of asset performance, priorities and opportunities.
Drawing on Walmart’s real estate operations and Asseti’s work with property owners and operators, the conversation will explore what it takes to move from fragmented processes and disconnected data toward a more integrated approach to asset strategy.
Topics will include:
“As real estate organizations adopt more technology, the opportunity is no longer simply about having more tools. It is about making those tools, the data behind them and the people using them work together,” said Michael Beckerman, CEO of CREtech. “This conversation will give our audience a practical look at how that challenge is being addressed inside one of the largest and most complex real estate portfolios in the world.”
CREtech New York 2026 will bring together more than 3,000 real estate executives, technology leaders, investors and innovators for two days of meetings, content and dealmaking focused on the future of the built world.
The event’s 2026 theme, “Commercial Real Estate in the Age of AI,” will examine how artificial intelligence, data infrastructure and emerging technologies are changing the way real estate is owned, operated, developed and financed.
