WASHINGTON, DC–Yesterday CoreNet Global Mid-Atlantic brought together some of the top thinkers about technology and corporate real estate in the US to Washington DC for its 2018 Corporate Real Estate Technology Symposium. The event, held at the Booz Allen Innovation Center, was standing room only as the CRE community lined up to hear from such leaders as John Smart, IoT and Smarter Workplace Strategist at IBM, Steve Weikal, head of Industry Relations at MIT Center for Real Estate and Douglas Edwards, Workplace Solutions, Humana.
CoreNet held the symposium because “we'd been hearing from our members, corporate real-estate professionals, occupiers of space, brokers, architects, designers, vendors, contractors about the need to talk about technology and how it's impacting corporate real estate,” CoreNet President Peter Van Emburgh, whose day job is with CBRE Global Workplace Solutions, tells GlobeSt.com.
“We're aware that disruptive technology is already changing the way we operate,” Van Emburgh continues. “What we don't comprehend exactly is what will happen next and how these changes will impact the way we work in the future.”
