The events of 2020 have proven disruptive right across the real estate industry. Data and technology are now more important than ever for understanding changing industry trends and business performance. We talk to industry leaders to understand how they are using data and technology to manage, protect and grow their company, as well as key trends surfacing from data-led market insights.

Our expert panellists cover:

1. The renewed importance of data and technology 

The COVID-19 crisis has resulted in uncertainty and volatility across commercial real estate, forcing landlords and agents to respond rapidly. This has emphasised the importance of knowing your key business metrics and how you compare to the wider market. Our panellists will discuss how the role of data and technology has evolved in the real estate industry and the overarching data-led trends they have seen following the COVID-19 crisis. 

2. How to successfully use data and technology

The number of real estate businesses adopting new technology and using data to manage their businesses has been rapidly growing following the COVID-19 crisis. Our panellists have developed successful careers grounded in their ability to use data and technology to inform the market and their businesses, and drive smart decision-making. 

Panellists will speak to the insights that can be drawn from data to mitigate risk and create value where their rivals have not.  

3. The role of data and technology in managing COVID-19 recovery and driving long-term business growth beyond the pandemic

Keeping your finger on the pulse has never been more important. We will walk through the key metrics panellists believe are important for commercial real estate, as well discussing their different experiences of the COVID-19 crisis.

The panellists will cast their own long-term predictions for the industry and share how data and technology will enable them to be best positioned to capitalise on the evolving environment.
