Michael Hironimus, CCIM, Founder, PropTech Integrations
This session answers the questions brokers, investors, and leadership are actually asking: Which roles are seeing the biggest productivity gains? How do you evaluate AI investments from a strategic standpoint? What are the use cases that move the needle, and how do you implement them without overwhelming your team? We will examine what is currently working (and failing) across CRE firms. You'll leave knowing what AI adoption realistically looks like in the next few years, what skills matter now, and what separates leaders from followers in practice. No vendor pitches. No theory. Just practical insights from advising firms and using these tools daily.
