The Las Vegas Digital Innovation Story: The Built Environment @ City Scale!
Date: 6/14/2023 Location: Milano
Realcomm | IBcon is pleased to present Michael Sherwood, the Chief Innovation and Technology Officer for the City of Las Vegas as one of the keynote speakers in this year’s General Session. As the individual at the center of Las Vegas’ innovation strategy, Michael will be sharing a number of projects that are directly in line with the built environment.
Michael has more than 20 years of experience in the fields of process improvement, technology, and innovation. Prior to the city of Las Vegas, he served as the Deputy Director of Public Safety, Business Services & City Technology for the City of Irvine, California. Michael is extremely passionate about technology and believes through innovation, workforce development, and collaboration, we can create brighter and sustainable communities.
Las Vegas is a legendary city known around every corner of the world. Its reputation for entertainment, gambling and fun is unprecedented. Not everyone would consider Las Vegas an innovator as it relates to the built environment, however, just a little research shows how much this city is doing and at an unprecedented pace.
Hotel security systems; advanced building automation; new digital tenants such as e-sports, studios and digital experience venues; a citywide 5G wireless infrastructure project; autonomous transportation; and much more, one could make the argument that Las Vegas is one of the most innovative / digital cities in the country, if not the world.

Navigating the Financial Stresses of the CRE Market, Economy and Impact on Innovation
Date: 6/14/2023 Location: Milano
The commercial and corporate real estate market is not immune to market cycles. Throughout modern history, this asset class has had to deal with various scenarios relating to supply and demand, monetary policies including interest rates, shifting regulation and now the impacts of the pandemic including return to work.
To better understand the market’s demand for technology and innovation, it is critical to understand the health of the market and its capacity to invest in new technology and innovation. A quick glance at the news illustrates that there are many different opinions on where the market is. Will it get worse; how bad will it get and for how long? For those in the PropTech space, getting clarity on this issue will help with short, medium and long-term goals.
We are excited to have Spencer Levy present his thoughts on this subject at this year’s General Session on June 14. Spencer is Global Client Strategist and Senior Economic Advisor for CBRE, the largest commercial real estate services firm in the world. In his role, Spencer focuses on client engagement and public-facing activities, including thought leadership work performed in conjunction with CBRE research. He also serves as Co-Chair of the Real Estate Roundtable’s Research Committee.
Spencer is frequently quoted in major business publications and appears on business television, including CNBC, CNN, Bloomberg, PBS and Fox Business. Spencer is the host of CBRE’s podcast “The Weekly Take.” He is considered one of the most insightful commentators on issues of importance to commercial real estate. Spencer has 27 years of experience in commercial real estate, including the past 15 at CBRE. During this time, he has served as a lawyer, investment banker, and capital markets senior research leader.
For the second part of this critical conversation, Spencer will be joined remotely by Philip McAndrews, Chief Strategy Officer at RXR. Phil is recognized as a transformational leader with extensive managerial and investment experience refining enterprise-level global real estate investment.
At RXR, Phil works closely with the firm’s partners developing and executing corporate strategic initiatives and expanding the investment management offerings for both their stakeholders and clients. He is the only non-partner member of the RXR Investment Committee.
Over the course of a 26-year career at TIAA (Nuveen), a $1.3 trillion financial service company headquartered in New York, Phil served as Chief Investment Officer of Global Real Estate and guided TIAA’s platform through several meaningful pivot points and real estate cycles.

Realcomm | IBcon Chairs Weigh In: Unpacking Today’s Top PropTech Issues & Topics
Date: 6/14/2023 Location: Milano
Each year, the Realcomm program team, led by Howard Berger, surveys hundreds of industry professionals to get a gauge on the topics that are of most interest and relevance to the community. The survey, in addition to thousands of conversations with advisors, solution providers, consultants, integrators, real estate owners, operators and managers, as well as corporate occupiers, provides keen insight as to the issues, interests and opportunities of the day.
After the sifting and sorting was complete, we asked our Advisory Council chairs to lend their experience and insight to the process and present the industry’s most pressing topics on Day One of the General Session on June 14 at Caesars Palace.
Each of the six chairs, Sineesh Keshav, Managing Director, CTO, Prologis; Joe Rich, EVP, CIO, Related Companies; Jeannie Schneider, SVP, CTO, Hines; Arv Gupta, SVP, National Operations, Cadillac Fairview; Colette Temmink, Chief Strategy & Product Officer
