Why Attend this Modernising Operations, Data and AI for Real Estate Fund Managers Webinar
What Panellists Will Discuss on the Webinar
Join the discussion: Commercial real estate has long run on fragmented data, manual processes, and back-office infrastructure that was never built for the demands of today's market. With capital harder to raise, margins under pressure, and LP expectations at an all-time high, fund managers can no longer afford to operate with blind spots at the fund level.
Join Bisnow and Apex Group for a candid panel discussion with senior leaders across fund management, finance, and operations, exploring what it means to modernise the way real estate funds are run. We will look at how the industry's most forward-thinking managers are tackling data fragmentation, meeting evolving investor reporting demands, and making practical use of technology and AI, not as a future ambition, but as a competitive advantage right now.
This is a practical session, not a theoretical one. Panellists will share real experiences, including what has worked, what has not, and what they wish they had addressed sooner.
Don't miss the opportunity to hear candid views from market leaders and ask your questions live during the interactive Q&A!
What You'll Learn:
How leading fund managers are addressing the data fragmentation problem and what a best-in-class operational infrastructure actually looks like in 2026
Why LP expectations around reporting frequency, granularity and digital access have shifted dramatically, and what managers need to do to keep pace
How AI and automation are being deployed in real estate fund operations today, beyond the hype and in practice
What the real cost of poor data quality is, from investor reporting failures through to ESG compliance risk, and how to start fixing it
Where the biggest barriers to operational change sit, whether cultural, structural or technological, and how others in the industry have worked through them
