Technology Summit
The Property Council’s first ever Technology summit was a gateway to understanding ways technology can be applied in the built environment… and the potential that comes with it. The day-long program took delegates on a journey: From establishing a strategy, to delivering on a plan with practical actions. Debunk the myths around smart buildings, see examples of design excellence, discover where cost efficiencies lie and understand how tech can contribute to your sustainability ambitions. Thank to our Major Partner CBRE Asia Pacific and supporting sponsors Procore Technologies and Schneider Electric for making this event possible.
