CIO & Prop Tech Forums

The Realcomm CIO & Property Tech Forums are exclusive gatherings designed for CIOs and senior IT professionals across the commercial real estate spectrum, including development, REITs, owners, brokerages, and investment management sectors in key global markets such as New York, Sydney, Toronto, London, and Chicago.

Each Forum is curated by local industry-leading CIOs who generously volunteer their expertise to facilitate these educational sessions. The format typically features an afternoon of presentations led by local commercial real estate CIOs and occasional guest speakers from diverse industries, followed by networking receptions.
