A closer look at three sessions
Market signals shaping real estate projects and assets
Thursday, October 22, 2026 | 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM
As market conditions continue to evolve, real estate stakeholders are facing increasing pressure to balance project feasibility, resilience, operational performance and long-term asset value. This session examines how climate risk, insurance availability, financing conditions and shifting market expectations are influencing decision-making across the built environment ecosystem. Through a moderated discussion featuring perspectives from real estate, insurance and financial institutions, attendees will gain insight into emerging challenges, tradeoffs and opportunities shaping the delivery of high-performance assets.
Operational performance and resilience: managing risk at the asset level
Friday, October 23, 2026 | 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM
Building owners and operators are increasingly focused on resilience and operational performance as core components of asset management. This session examines how operational and resilience strategies are being integrated into asset-level decision-making across existing buildings and portfolios. Speakers will discuss practical implementation challenges and lessons learned, highlighting how operational performance and resilience are becoming increasingly connected to asset protection, business continuity and long-term value.
Performance, data and value: turning information into decisions
Friday, October 23, 2026 | 10:15 AM to 11:15 AM
Data availability across the built environment continues to expand, yet many organizations still face challenges translating information into meaningful operational and business decisions. This session explores how different stakeholders are using performance information to support decision-making across projects and existing assets, examining the role of data quality, comparability, verification and technology in helping organizations move beyond reporting toward more actionable insights.
