CREW Austin’s annual Elevate event, a premier gathering for commercial real estate professionals to connect, learn, and explore the future of the industry. Join us for an inspiring keynote by Nadine Ezzie, exploring how artificial intelligence (AI) can help us fundamentally redefine the commercial real estate industry from one that is asset-centric to people-centric. Historically, post-Industrialist ways of working have prioritized efficiency at the expense of the human experience, leading to disengagement, burnout, and a lack of innovation. With powerful AI tools now capable of handling repetitive tasks, we stand at a pivotal moment. Nadine will highlight this critical opportunity, especially for women, to proactively close the gender gap in AI proficiency and lead the charge in shaping the future of real estate. Drawing inspiration from groundbreaking hospitality principles in Will Guidara's book, "Unreasonable Hospitality" and strategic shifts like CBRE’s acquisition of Industrious, this keynote will demonstrate how embedding hospitality-driven insights into our spaces can profoundly elevate our everyday human experience, paving the way for unprecedented opportunities and innovation. Together, let’s reclaim and elevate our humanity, harnessing AI to create vibrant, inclusive, and genuinely human-centric built environments. The event will also feature a panel discussion on AI’s impact in CRE, diving into how technology is transforming market analysis, property management, and business strategies. Industry experts will share real-world applications, challenges, and opportunities, equipping attendees with valuable knowledge to stay ahead in a rapidly changing environment. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with industry leaders, gain cutting-edge insights, and engage in thought-provoking discussions that will shape the future of commercial real estate!
