NEW YORK CITY– Propel by MIPIM New York (formerly MIPIM Proptech) will host a two-day Global Real Estate and Tech Conference & Expo on November 9th and 10th at the Javits Center River Pavilion in Manhattan. The innovative conference will be the flagship event of NYC Real Estate Tech Week. The 6th edition of Propel New York will be organized by MIPIM which attracted over 20,000 real estate leaders from 80 countries last March in Cannes, France – in partnership with the world’s leading venture capital firm focused on the PropTech industry, MetaProp.
This year’s conference will focus on improving the workplace experience, improving the sustainability of real estate assets, and improving real estate business efficiency. There will be an invitation-only ESG Summit and a by-invitation-only Investor Summit formatted in a “think tank-style” designed to help industry professionals navigate challenges and spot opportunities.
ESG and Climate Topics Will Drive the Agenda
The ESG Summit, dedicated to C-Suite executives, Directors and ESG leaders, is a valuable opportunity for those involved to share ESG best practices for improving the sustainability of real estate assets through the adoption of prop-tech innovation. Moderated by Jonathan Flaherty, Global Head – Sustainability and Building Technology Innovation, and Tishman Speyer, invited stakeholders such as Jessica Bailey, the President, and CEO of Nuveen Green Capital, Alvis Yuen, the Head of ESG, Real Estate at Bain Capital, will also meet to explore the issues facing ESG initiatives and how best to implement new, more efficient solutions.
“Real estate is critical in global decarbonization efforts for reasons likely to be compelling for investors, tenants, and governments. Significant reductions in emissions associated with real estate can be achieved with positive economics through technologies that already exist,” said Robert Palter in the McKinsey whitepaper Climate Risk and the Opportunity for Real Estate. Robert Palter, Senior Partner and Global Co-Head Real Estate Practice of McKinsey & Company will be among the featured speakers at the event.
At Propel by MIPIM New York in partnership with MetaProp, investors, technology innovators, and real estate professionals can be better equipped to address decarbonization and other climate concerns with more knowledge, resources, and connections from the two-day conference. With the specialized Summits, innovators and thought leaders will also share exclusive insights and opportunities on how to create more value and revenue for tenants, investors, and their communities.
Insights From Global Real Estate Investors and Executives
The Investor Summit, which is open to limited and general partners of funds, will be a distinguished panel of leading real estate investors from top companies. The Investor Summit roundtable will discuss strategies and insights on mitigating risks associated with the current environment and future opportunities. Speakers will also discuss how best to align investments with changing market dynamics.
In addition to the highlighted Summits, other programming will include valuable insights from notable partners such as the Occupier Summit held by leading sponsor PwC, the Future of ESG and Buildings with speakers from Boston Properties, Institute for Market Transformation, and Measurabl, Proptech Innovations lead by MetaProp, and more, Hybrid Solutions for Net Zero Goals with speakers from Nuveen, Brookfield Properties, and numerous other global real estate executives such as Byron Carlock, National Partner, Real Estate Practice Leader, PwC who will come together as part of this destination conference.
