Topic - Leading a Proactive Real Estate Industry
There is often talk of disruption in the real estate industry; disruption from technology, disruption from regulators, disruption from government, disruption from consumer expectations. What if we could anticipate these disruptions and act in a proactive way, rather than reacting after the fact? We will explore the current real estate environment from a technological, regulatory and industry perspective while looking at what disruptions are on the horizon and how we can best prepare for them as a sector.
