This isn't a pitch environment. It's a guided conversation for leaders to exchange insight, pressure-test ideas, and connect with the right people. Access is limited. Dialogue is peer-level. Outcomes are real. | Step 1 Get invited Eligible owners, developers, and occupiers receive an invitation to participate. | Step 2 Pick your topics Select the roundtables most relevant to your role and priorities. | Step 3 Get placed by fit We group you with true peers by sector, seniority, and strategic focus. | Step 4 Show up over lunch Each TableTalk is held during the lunch hour on both days of the event. | | --- | --- | --- | --- | ![Tabletalks CREtech1](https://cretech.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Tabletalks%20CREtech1.jpg?width=2000&height=1333&name=Tabletalks%20CREtech1.jpg "Tabletalks CREtech1") ![Tabletalks CREtech2](https://cretech.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Tabletalks%20CREtech2.jpg?width=2000&height=1333&name=Tabletalks%20CREtech2.jpg "Tabletalks CREtech2") ## Technology companies and service providers may participate as official sponsors and moderators, guiding the discussion to keep it balanced and valuable for everyone at the table. ## [Become a sponsor →](https://cretech.com/sponsor?hsLang=en) # Explore the Topics Defining Real Estate in the Age of AI Dive into the most critical topics shaping commercial real estate, from AI-driven operations and capital strategy to development, infrastructure, and the future of occupancy. Gain practical insight, exchange perspective with true peers, and build meaningful relationships that extend beyond the event. Topics include:   Sponsored by TILLMAN DIGITAL CITIES ![Tillman Digital Cities-2](https://cretech.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Tillman%20Digital%20Cities-2.png?width=130&height=82&name=Tillman%20Digital%20Cities-2.png) ### Smart Buildings, Smarter Portfolios: The Future of Building Technology Smart building tech has moved past scattered point solutions — the real challenge now is connecting systems, data, and teams into measurable portfolio performance. Join owners and operators comparing what's actually working, and where AI is opening the next opportunity. Sample discussion topics - What separates a genuinely smart building from one that's just automated - Where AI and predictive analytics are creating the biggest near-term wins - Which investments are actually moving NOI and tenant experience   Sponsored by HYPHA  ![Hypha](https://cretech.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Hypha.png?width=130&height=82&name=Hypha.png) ### AI in Valuation and Appraisal: Redefining Market Analysis and Asset Performance Metrics AI is changing how real estate companies approach valuation, market analysis, and asset performance by making it possible to analyze more data, uncover insights faster, and continuously assess changes in value and risk. But valuation still depends heavily on context, judgment, and trust in the underlying data. Sample discussion topics - Where is AI having the greatest impact on valuation, underwriting, and market analysis today? - How can firms better connect financial, property, market, and portfolio data to create a more complete view of asset value and risk across their entire real estate platform? - Why AI will move the industry from point-in-time valuations toward more continuous monitoring of value, performance, and risk?   Women in Commercial Real Estate: Building Careers, Connections, and Leadership Women are making meaningful progress across commercial real estate while remaining underrepresented in many leadership roles. This interactive roundtable invites women from across the industry and at every career stage to exchange experiences, practical advice, and new perspectives. Sample discussion topics - Which experiences, decisions, or relationships have had the greatest impact on your career in commercial real estate? - What has helped you build credibility, influence decisions, and advance into positions of greater responsibility or leadership? - How have mentors, sponsors, peers, or professional networks helped create opportunities or guide important career decisions?   ### Sponsored by zerorfi![Zero RFI (1)](https://cretech.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Zero%20RFI%20(1).png?width=130&height=82&name=Zero%20RFI%20(1).png) ### Infrastructure Has the Capital. Can AI Close the Execution Gap? Capital is flooding back into the physical world. Data centers, energy and power, and advanced manufacturing are pulling in record investment, with steel, silicon, and sovereign capability now treated as national security priorities. But capital deployment has outpaced delivery capability, and the gap is showing up at every stage of execution: site selection, vendor qualification, first-article inspection, construction oversight. Sample discussion topics - Where is AI already shaping capital deployment in data centers, energy, and advanced manufacturing—from underwriting to site selection and risk modeling—and where is it still absent?election, risk modeling — and where is it still absent? - Where can data and AI best solve execution failures in site selection, vendor qualification, and oversight today—and where will human judgment remain essential?   Sponsored by CORNET GLOBAL ![CoreNet Global](https://cretech.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CoreNet%20Global.png?width=130&height=82&name=CoreNet%20Global.png) ### The Occupier’s Perspective: Space, Strategy, and the AI-Driven Workplace Corporate real estate leaders are rethinking not just how much space they need, but how the workplace itself should be used, designed, and managed. This roundtable brings together CRE and workplace leaders to talk utilization data, portfolio strategy, and planning for a workforce still in motion. Sample discussion topics - Which utilization metrics actually show how space is being used - How AI is reshaping space planning and workplace strategy - Making long-term portfolio calls while expectations keep shifting   Sponsored by MCKINSEY & COMPANY  ![mckinsey & company (1)](https://cretech.com/hs-fs/hubfs/mckinsey%20%26%20company%20(1).png?width=130&height=82&name=mckinsey%20%26%20company%20(1).png) ### The AI Dilemma: Build, Buy, or Partner? A candid look at how CRE companies are deciding on their AI strategy — building in-house, buying off the shelf, or partnering with the right technology provider. Sample discussion topics - What is worth owning? As AI becomes more embedded in the business, which capabilities, data, and intellectual property are truly strategic to keep in-house? - How do you avoid getting locked in? With the AI ecosystem evolving rapidly, how can companies make technology and partnership choices today without limiting their options tomorrow? - What separates AI pilots from real impact? Regardless of whether you build, buy, or partner, what does it take to move from experimentation to scaled adoption and measurable business value?   Building Smarter: How AI Is Transforming Construction AI is beginning to change how construction projects are planned, managed, and delivered, from estimating and scheduling to field operations, documentation, and project management. The opportunity is significant, but the industry still faces fragmented workflows, disconnected data, and challenges moving new technology from pilots into everyday use. Sample discussion topics - Where is AI delivering the most tangible value in construction today? - Which parts of the construction lifecycle are most ready to be transformed by AI? - What is preventing promising AI tools from moving from pilot projects to standard workflows?   ### Sponsored by Multifamily Insiders![NMHC-1](https://cretech.com/hs-fs/hubfs/NMHC-1.png?width=130&height=82&name=NMHC-1.png) ### Tech Fatigue Is Real: Rethinking the Resident Experience from the Ground Up As technology continues to reshape how multifamily operators engage with residents, it’s clear that “tech fatigue” is more than just a buzzword. This session will bring together operators and service providers to discuss how to cut through the noise, prioritize what really matters to residents, and rethink the resident experience from the ground up. We’ll explore practical strategies for balancing automation with personalization, avoiding the “one-size-fits-all” trap, and focusing on the resident journey instead of just the latest shiny tool. Sample discussion topics - Where is tech helping vs. hurting? - What do residents actually want? - Automation vs. personalization. ## Subscribe to Our Newsletter Subscribe to get access to our curated newsletters and exclusive event deals [![Subscribe to CREtech's Newsletter](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/44686614/interactive-206125593131.png)](https://cretech.com/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLKwm6kZQhAhQwlIlmn0AE%2B%2FPvTsBZ3fFIU6PxrQ2B7xu0KEcOFkRkqg1VPkkgP6%2FjuzOdsru4oS5hrN2s3ZBYWxjcQHpxykl0QEfaVldlMwgPcrON9qupt6bzAolO00B7v9YP8PYtftlT5VihOhim0Qj7EilpSY8o8oha3GFIWgrKq5hOJ81%2B5FjMKQZL6E%2FaMyGhAdpYIYm183HAI%3D&webInteractiveContentId=206125593131&portalId=44686614&hsLang=en) [![CREtech New York Logo with Dates-1](https://cretech.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CREtech%20New%20York%20Logo%20with%20Dates-1.png?width=2136&height=363&name=CREtech%20New%20York%20Logo%20with%20Dates-1.png "CREtech New York Logo with Dates-1")](https://www.cretech.com?hsLang=en) CREtech New York is the defining gathering for real estate in the age of AI.
