Why you can't afford to sit this one out

Real estate is about to split in two: those who understand AI-driven operations — and those managed by it.

Two years from now, this is the insight you'll wish you had in 2026. You get it here — or not at all.

New York: the proptech capital

AI, energy and data-driven operations are reshaping real estate.

The delegation offers a concentrated look at how AI, energy and data-driven operations are transforming the real estate industry in the world's leading proptech market.

This is the third proptech delegation to New York. Building on previous success, we meet research institutions, global technology companies, leading developers and investors to learn how buildings increasingly operate as digital platforms — where data, sensors and machine learning optimise everything from energy use to portfolio management.

The program (note: not yet confirmed) spans AI research at Columbia University, the energy and infrastructure systems behind Hudson Yards, net-zero buildings and startup environments at Cornell Tech and Bloomberg, AI-driven building operations at Google, and the owner's perspective from the world's largest sovereign wealth fund, NBIM.

We also bring investors, founders and real estate players together for an exclusive Proptech Venture Symposium at the Consulate General.

Who takes part

A taste of the program

Four packed days in the proptech capital.

Arrival Sunday 8 November — we meet Sunday evening. The core program runs from Monday 9 to Thursday 12 November, with deep proptech insight and time to experience the city.

Columbia University

AI workshop

A deep-dive workshop at the Columbia Center for AI in Finance & Real Estate on how artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing the way buildings, portfolios and cities are understood and operated. Leading experts demonstrate how analytical models and advanced data science are applied to real estate data — from market signals and valuation to operational optimisation and predictive risk management.

Hudson Yards

Energy, infrastructure and the operating system of a district

Hudson Yards is the city's most ambitious private real estate development, built over active rail infrastructure and developed as a fully integrated urban district. We look at how large mixed-use areas are designed as energy- and data-driven operating systems, with district energy solutions, robust power infrastructure and smart building platforms.

Cornell Tech and Bloomberg

Net-zero buildings for the next generation of building technology

Cornell Tech on Roosevelt Island is New York's hub for applied technology. The highlight is the Bloomberg Center, one of the world's largest academic buildings designed for net-zero energy use — a living laboratory for next-generation building systems, with geothermal wells, solar panels and smart building technology.

Google HQ

Operating buildings from a tech giant's perspective

Google's New York headquarters offers insight into how one of the world's most advanced technology companies runs and optimises large office environments. Google is a pioneer in using AI for building operations and energy systems. Machine learning optimises HVAC systems, reduces energy use and improves operational efficiency across the company's global real estate portfolio.

Proptech Venture Symposium

The Norwegian Consulate General

An exclusive mini-symposium bringing together US investors, founders and ecosystem builders. The program consists of pitches from participating companies and short panels exploring how AI is changing the investment landscape. Participating startups present their solutions, followed by curated one-on-one conversations between investors and delegation participants.

NBIM

AI, sustainability and running a global real estate portfolio

Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM) holds significant investments in New York and owns some of the city's most prestigious office and retail properties through partnerships with leading developers and operators. NBIM CEO Nicolai Tangen has been clear about the opportunities in artificial intelligence. During the visit, the delegation explores how that perspective shapes the management of a global real estate portfolio.

Taking part in the program

Leading players will be joining

Organisations such as Snøhetta, DnB North America, Related, Fifth Wall, MetaProp and other leading players will take part in the program. Details are confirmed on a rolling basis.
