By IoTEvolutionWorld News February 07, 2020

Industry Leader to Share Insights on the Smart Buildings of Today in the Age of Digital Transformation

Fifth Gen Media and TMC today announced that Darlene Pope, WeWork’s Global Head of Smart Buildings and Digital Workplace Experience, will keynote at the Connected Real Estate Summit February 12 – 14th 2020 at the Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. She joins a number of other prominent executives from across the commercial real estate and technology industries scheduled to speak on digital transformation at the one-of-a-kind Summit.

Darlene Pope’s session, “What’s Now and What’s Next for Smart Buildings,” is scheduled for Thursday, February 13th at 4:45pm in the Floridian A/B/C.  The discussion will highlight the importance of digital solutions for today’s tenants and offer leading insight around what is expected now -- as well as what’s coming next -- in the age of digital transformation.  “In an era where technology is changing rapidly, and enterprises are increasingly relying on an integrated digital ecosystem to operate their businesses, it’s an ongoing challenge to keep up with the technology curve.” said Pope. “I look forward to discussing today’s definition of smart buildings and share my thoughts on where the industry is going next.” 

The Connected Real Estate Summit is a one-of-a-kind event collocated with the ITExpo. It is focused on exploring the technology and connectivity challenges and opportunity facing Commercial Real Estate and the Enterprise. With the recent rollout of CBRS, Private LTE, Wi-Fi6, and the constant headlines around 5G, making sense of all of these options can be a headache. Availability of high-performance connectivity influences spend and lease behavior, but less than 10% of 5 million commercial properties have any kind of reliable wireless solution or long-term strategy. This landscape is presenting new challenges while also introducing opportunity for those that are informed and prepared.
