11.00am Exploring the future of AI in real estate (Violet ballroom)

For the past 8 years, US native Jeff Turner has been working with AI in real estate in the US and around the world - and we will be exploring how technology is changing the way real estate transactions are conducted in other parts of the world.

Jeff also coined the term “humaneering”. This involves a deep understanding of the human exprience, including the emotions, motivations and behaviours that drive human actions.

In the context of the real estate industry, this is about putting people first and using technology to create more humancentric experiences that meet peoples desires and needs, and we will be exploring the possibilities around this.
