CREtech CEO Michael Beckerman

Over two days, thousands of startups, entrepreneurs, investors and commercial real estate professionals from around the world will attend the CREtech Los Angeles Conference at the historic Shrine Expo Hall. All of the major tech trends in office, industrial, retail and multifamily including CoWorking, Data, A.I., ConTech and more will be discussed by those leading the tech revolution in CRE.

Attendees will have the opportunity to set up one-to-one meetings during the speed dating breaks, hear from the most sought-after thought leaders and meet the leading startups, investors, developers/owners and brokers, not to mention have a great time during our evening receptions.

CREtech CEO Michael Beckerman, who was recently selected as one of Real Estate Forum's CRE Tech's Top Enterprisers, is one of the most active leaders and sought after speakers in the emerging commercial real estate tech sector, having delivered keynote presentations at conferences and private company events around the country such as MIT Center For Real Estate,  ICSC, University of Colorado at Boulder Real Estate Center, Realcomm, NAIOP, TCN Worldwide, CBC Global Conference, Bisnow, BuiltTech Week Atlanta, Realshare Apartments, NMHC Optech, AIR CRE and many more. He is a frequent guest on industry podcasts such as Fifth Wall and also one of the most popular bloggers on the commercial real estate tech sector.

According to Beckerman, “much of the tech revolution's trajectory in commercial real estate has already mirrored the massive and rapid technological changes seen across other industries: finance, healthcare, and insurance, to name a few.” He notes that there is a clear momentum in the “emerging” tech sector of CRE.

“According to our research, approximately 4,000 startups comprise this ecosystem today. That is staggering growth from a mere six years ago, when there were but a few dozen tech players plying their ideas in CRE. Most of these startups are young, with limited funding, and also led by first time founders—a fascinating combination that inspires my own inner founder spirit. A few startups like VTS, REOnomy, Honest Buildings, Latch, Enertiv, Clutter, Dealpath and others have broken out and several have hit real scale, with $10 million in recurring revenue or nine figure valuations.”

“The many startups struggling to find customers and traction will merge with others to build solid small businesses servicing pieces of the massive CRE industry,” he explains. “Other tech startups will scale before facing quick acquisition by industry tech giants—such as CoStar, RealPage, MRI, and Yardi—or the largest stakeholders, like CBRE, JLL, Brookfield, Hines, Prologis, Avalon Bay, etc.”
