Top 35 People to Watch in 2008!

Due to a technical error, the original "Top 35 People To Watch in 2008" published on 2/21 was not complete. Below is the full list for 2008.

Realcomm is pleased to announce the “Top 35 People To Watch in 2008.” This list represents both individuals and organizations who are committed to furthering the use of innovative technologies in the commercial and corporate real estate industries. Congratulations to this year’s selection – it is their instinct, passion, determination and persistence that will continue to cause positive change and growth in our industry!

The “Top 35 People to Watch” list is an annual recognition of those leaders in real estate technology who are not satisfied with the status quo and dare to do something about it. It’s not always easy to stand up and challenge “the way things have always been done” and suggest new, sometimes risky, alternatives. With the new paradigm shift towards automation and technology changing the way we manage and operate commercial and corporate real estate, it is the passion and commitment of these visionaries that will pave the way for future success:
