  Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping industries, redefining workflows, and changing how businesses operate, analyze information, and make decisions. Across commercial real estate, AI is already being integrated into a broad range of functions - from underwriting, market analysis, leasing, and asset management to construction monitoring, financial forecasting, document review, and operational automation. As adoption accelerates, firms are increasingly evaluating how AI can enhance productivity, improve decision-making, reduce costs, and create competitive advantages while navigating implementation, governance, and workforce implications.

  This panel will explore how AI is transforming the commercial real estate industry and how organizations can strategically apply AI within existing business operations. Topics will include:

  • Industry Impact, Use Cases & Workflows
  • Future State & Disruption
  • Execution & Investment
  • Legal, Risk & Governance
  • Workforce & Organizational Impact

  Panelists will share practical insights on evaluating, prioritizing, and integrating AI solutions across the industry.

  Join us for an optional happy hour after the panel concludes.
