Attendees had the opportunity to hear fresh perspectives from industry leaders on these important topics shaping the sector.
INNOVATIONS RESHAPING REAL ESTATE
The first panel discussion, titled “Adapting to Changing Trends: Innovations Reshaping the Real Estate Industry,” brought together prominent names from the sector to discuss how technology and emerging trends are redefining the landscape.
