Introducing TableTalks at CREtech New York 2026
New for 2026, TableTalks are curated peer-to-peer roundtables on the issues actually shaping real estate today — bringing together senior owners, developers, and occupiers across AI, capital strategy, operations, and development. 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.
