Warren, NJ—Fifth Gen Media, publisher of Connected Real Estate Magazine, has partnered with the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY) and Proptech Challenge to present the Connected Virtual Tech Event on November 16 and 17.
“The Next Generation of Events” will be attendees’ guide to all things CBRS, private LTE, IoT, public safety smart buildings and more—all on an exciting new virtual platform. Companies can work with a project manager to create their own virtual booth. Meanwhile, Connected Virtual Tech Event participants can watch and interact with exhibitors that include real estate leaders, public safety officials, wireless providers, hotel operators, municipal government officials and more.
Fifth Gen Media and the REBNY Proptech Challenge will use a new platform for the Connected Virtual Tech Event to make it the show as close to a live event as possible. Attendees can see friends, clients and prospects and interact with them right away. The platform will add a “game like experience” to the event and is expected to bring some excitement to attendees who may be dealing with “show fatigue” in recent years.
“Since this is our third event in the series and there are so many virtual events popping up, I felt that we needed to make a significant innovation in our platform, our partners and our content. We have chosen an interactive, gaming-based platform that allows attendees to actually interact with exhibitors, speakers and each other. Not in a chat format but in a conversational and communicative way. Even more important we have partnered with the REBNY Proptech Challenge to be part of this event with us and fully participate with us. Our theme this time will be “The psychology of making people feel comfortable to return to work because I think that is an entirely overlooked aspect our dilemma right now.
“We are very excited about our 4th annual PropTech Challenge, adding Showcase and Round Table elements to our expanded event with Connected Real Estate Magazine. This year’s focus is on helping owners and managers get tenants back into our buildings safely and securely. We’ll be raising awareness to some exciting PropTech uncovered by the REBNY Technology Committee as we reimagine operations, leasing, and development in an ever changing world.” said Sandy Jacolow PropTech Challenge Co-Founder and Chief Information Officer at Meridian Capital.
The event’s theme will focus on what’s on a lot of real estate leaders’ minds right now—“What do I need to do to get my tenants back in my buildings, safely and confidently?” The Connected Virtual Tech Event will comprise an assortment of panels, keynotes, one-on-one discussions and presentations that will help answer this question. These sessions will include a keynote presentation by award-winning author, journalist, and speaker Jennifer Moss on how connectivity and technology can help people can feel safe as they return to work.
Other panels will include how CBRS will enable the return to work flow, how 5G could enhance the office of the future, IoT and its impact on returning to work and more.
