Making sure that we still keep people engaged, we still bring great content to our audience. And we still continue to focus on our vision and our mission, which is to just help the industry adapt to changing times and improve and come out bigger, better and stronger” - Gary, FUTURE: PropTech - “Moving into the pandemic now, what's really happened is one of the impacts has been on the real estate industry, that they have to drive innovation with a greater sense of urgency” – Michael, CREtech - “We’re seeing now more landlords, more brokerages, more asset managers come into the fold than ever before” Michael, CREtech - “When you're constantly pitching to businesses… they never give you a full “no” when you're selling a product but now people are saying “you know what, yeah let’s take this pilot into something more serious” Louisa - “We had great content, we had great exhibitors, and then you had an ability for people just to meet and connect… so I think it was all of that which is making sure the audience was the right audience, based on what people wanted to get out of the conference” – Michael, CREtech - “ We've kind of gone through the cycle of technology and innovation being viewed as like a ticking box or like a nice to have thing on the side. The whole world is changing and has to change very fast now, we all know technology is going to be a part of our lives, It's quite indispensable” – Gary, FUTURE: PropTech - “All the cities and the communities we live in, they need to be better connected and serve people and be more human centric than ever before. So that's what reimagining real estate looks like to us” – Michael, CREtech - “There’s a point about not calling it just “PropTech”, to build environment and innovation… It's about reimagining the world of real estate in the future, and there's so many components to it. It's not just about the technology, it's not just about the deep tech that's behind it” – Louisa   Subscribe   Apple | Google | Spotify | Stitcher | iHeart   Sponsors You're listening to a podcast produced by A PODCAST COMPANY.
