Chapter Meeting // Thursday, August 20 // Mountain View

The Power-Driven Future of CRE Decisions

AI, automation, electrification, and emerging technologies are reshaping demand across the built environment. As organizations plan for increasing technology and infrastructure needs, power availability, grid capacity, and energy strategy are becoming critical inputs into real estate decisions.

For corporate real estate leaders, this requires a shift in how decisions are evaluated. Site selection, portfolio strategy, capital planning, design decisions, and stakeholder engagement must increasingly account for power considerations earlier in the process.

Join industry leaders from corporate real estate, energy, infrastructure, technology, and the built environment for a practical discussion on how power is becoming a strategic driver of CRE decision-making.

Through real-world perspectives and actionable insights, attendees will gain a clearer understanding of:

The questions leaders should be asking earlier in the planning process
The stakeholders who need to be engaged sooner
The tradeoffs and opportunities created by changing infrastructure realities
How to incorporate power considerations into long-term CRE strategy

The future of CRE will require leaders to connect technology demand, infrastructure readiness, and real estate strategy to make more informed decisions today that prepare organizations for tomorrow.

Chapter Meeting // Wednesday, September 23 // San Francisco

Agents in Action: Enterprise Al Adoption for CRE

Note the new Chapter Meeting date for September.

The conversation around Al in corporate real estate has moved quickly, but for most teams, the gap between what's being discussed and what's being deployed has never felt wider. This September Chapter Meeting is designed to close that gap. Unlike our traditional chapter meetings, the experience—from the venue and seating to the interactive roundtable discussions—is designed to foster learning and collaboration. 

Agents in Action brings together CRE end users and service providers for an honest, hands-on look at where enterprise agentic Al adoption really stands. No keynotes, no vendor pitches—just real workflows, real lessons, and candid conversations with peers who are navigating the same questions you are.   

The program begins with a brief overview of AI maturity, organizational readiness, and common adoption myths before moving into live demonstrations of agentic AI workflows being used by enterprise CRE teams

Attendees will then join facilitated roundtable discussions with peers at a similar stage of AI adoption—Novice, Exploring, or Scaling—to discuss the demonstrations, share experiences, and identify practical next steps. The session concludes with key insights and takeaways from across the room.

What To Expect:

Live Demos: Demos from teams already using agents to solve real problems. See what these workflows look like on screen.
Peer Roundtables: Self-select into a discussion table matched to your organization's AI maturity. Compare notes with peers at your stage of the journey.
Facilitated Wrap-Up: A facilitator synthesizes what the room surfaced, demystifies the topic, and closes with concrete next steps tailored to where you are today.

Choose Your Track:

Roundtable discussions will be organized by your own AI maturity. Self-select the track that best describes where you and your organization are today.

Novice: AI is on your radar but not yet in active use
Exploring: Piloting 1-2 tools, building the business case
Scaling: Agents in production, focused on governance and ROI

Venue: Design Within Reach (DWR): 1400 17th St, San Francisco
Schedule: Registration: 3:30p // Program: 4:00p // Reception: 5:00p
Cost*: Member: $35.00 // Non-Member End User: $85.00 // Non-Member Service Provider: $100.00

* Registration is currently open to End Users only, and will open to Members on August 19th and Non-Members on August 27th.
