Education Tracks & Sessions

The Big Picture
There are many moving parts that comprise an information management strategy. Hardware, software, data, organizational alignment, staff and many more must be considered. Understanding the strategic direction of our solution providers, anticipating big trends, owning vs. renting automation platforms, and mastering prevalent practices are all topics covered in this informative track.

Real Estate Automation 3.0
Over the last 30 years, we have moved from PCs to servers to cloud and from fundamental applications (such as property management) to comprehensive and complex enterprise platforms. Just about every possible process has been automated, and in some cases, integrated into an overall automation strategy. This track will explore the latest automation innovations, address the biggest questions and trends that will influence the next generation, and present new ideas for our industry.

Big Data – Big Insight
The relevance of “big data’ continues to grow and expand as data, information and related insight are at the core of our ongoing strategies for success. Today, as we receive more data from new sources and the analysis tools become more sophisticated, a concerted plan for how to control big data becomes crucial. This track will take a hard look at big data and the latest best practices and trends.

#ItsAboutThePeople
Technology is necessary and innovation is exciting, but people are the compelling part of the equation. Our industry, among others, is facing a critical juncture when technology, automation and innovation are modifying the traditional organizational chart and culture. This track will focus on topics such as aligning with the organization, innovation cultures and other people-centered issues.

Major Paradigms – SMAC
In the history of computing, we have seen a number of concepts come and go. Mainframes led to mini-computers to distributed PCs and servers and then we moved up into the cloud. Changing paradigms are important because they have the potential to affect every aspect of an IT strategy. This track will cover Social, Mobile, Analytics and Cloud (SMAC), discuss the ways they have influenced the computing world, and forecast significant trends for each one.

Smart Building Tech Innovation Showcase
There are many components that make up the ecosystem of a smart building. In addition to traditional building automation components like HVAC, lighting and security, new technologies to automate different aspects of a building such as water, digital signage, fire/life/safety, meters, conveyance systems, landscaping, parking, vending machines and more are becoming part of the comprehensive smart building strategy. This track will showcase these exciting new concepts.

Real Estate Investment Management
Investment and fund managers use a variety of technologies, from DCF to lease management. There are considerable nuances that differentiate the CRM used by fund and investor managers from that of the property manager or commercial broker. From data and analytics, portals and performance measurement tools, to fund level reporting, debt management and investor reporting, this track will explore successful strategies presented by industry leaders who have created and implemented them.
