To all attendees of the Fall World Conference in Denver-

I want to call your attention to the programming put on by the SIOR Technology Committee at this conference- titled "Investing in CRE Tech- Perspectives from Landlord and Brokerage Firms".

Why should this be of interest?

In short, there are massive bets on technology being made by the large landlords and brokerage firms  right now. Their decisions to grow technology from within, buy technology firms, or partner with them will alter how you do business in within the next 1-3 years.
