Chris Krebs is a nationally recognized cybersecurity and national security leader with extensive experience in government and the private sector. As the first Director of the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Krebs pioneered efforts to counter disinformation and protect election integrity. Prior to CISA, Krebs oversaw cybersecurity policy at Microsoft and held senior leadership roles at the Department of Homeland Security. As a CBS News Contributor, he brings invaluable expertise on cyber resilience, risk management, and national security, knowledge that is essential for technology leaders navigating today’s digital and AI-driven landscape.

Chris Krebs will explore today’s rapidly evolving cyber and AI landscape and discuss the intersection of cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and national security, and what it means for real estate technology leaders.

We’re Thinking About PropTech All Wrong: RETTC Report Release

PropTech has traditionally been evaluated on one metric: does it drive NOI? But what if shifting realities and renter expectations have transformed how owners should calculate value? This panel will delve into findings and data from a new RETTC & PropTechIQ report that demonstrates how PropTech produces measurable returns by improving satisfaction, retention, digital service delivery, and operating efficiency and how we all need to change the narrative on the PropTech value proposition.

When Centralization Breaks: Lessons from Tech Missteps

Presented in partnership with Multifamily Insiders: Centralization was meant to make things easier, more efficient, and scalable. But in practice, many find that tech-driven centralization often causes friction, slows adoption, and reveals gaps they didn’t expect. This session will look at why some efforts fail, why leadership alignment isn’t always enough, and what leaders wish they had known before making big changes.
