Advancing technology is disrupting the commercial real estate industry in new and profound ways. Building owners and managers must recognize new technologies and how to integrate them, or risk falling behind in a competitive marketplace. Smart building technology and new workplace concepts are creating new expectations from tenants. Real estate firms must take significant steps to adapt to customers growing tech needs. Hear from a panel of experts on how technology is creating new demands for owners and managers, how technological advances are being implemented, and how CRE firms are benefitting from investment in building technology.

Prior to the panel discussion, there will be a brief presentation of the annual ENERGY STAR^® Top Cities Rankings with formal recognition of the owners and managers who contributed to the top cities' rankings, followed by a State of the Industry address from BOMA International President & COO, Henry Chamberlain.
