This session introduces ‘vibe coding’ –  the latest buzzwords to describe using AI to write code. We will look at currently available tools, give a brief tutorial on how to get started and explore the question of whether it is possible to build fully functioning apps without knowing how to code.

A tutorial demonstrating how to use vibe coding to build a basic real estate analysis web app.

Looking at options for building a more complex ‘full stack’ tool with a web based front end and python backend.

This webinar will cover how to use body language that commands respect, develop a strong and clear voice for financial presentations, and handle tough questions with confidence and assertiveness. You will also learn practical techniques to appear calm and self-assured under pressure.

This webinar offers a comprehensive introduction to the essential concepts of social and environmental sustainability in commercial real estate.

What is the market telling us:

• Shift from PropTech pilots to portfolio-level AI agendas: UKPA/BPF 2024 insights show integration of AI into strategic capex planning.
• AI as enabler of net-zero pathways: energy optimisation, MEES compliance, predictive energy savings (British Land examples).
• Data as a strategic asset: industry push for unified data platforms covering BMS, CAFM, leasing, valuations in addition to ERPs and EPMs.

What can real estate organisations do to create value with AI strategies:

Convene a mix of stakeholders empowered to make decisions about the future direction of travel, choosing and prioritising between:

• Service excellence: creating differentiated customer/tenant experience: AI-driven location/experience search, recommendations, and conversational interfaces.
• Growth-first strategies: identifying and analysing new revenue streams, productionising knowledge and platforming expertise as service offering, selling data as asset for LLM training.
• Optimising cost strategies: scaling operations with no additional overhead for Finance & back office.

Many real estate firms can define their AI vision easily, but building robust business cases across predictive, generative, and agentic AI is where the real challenge begins. This webinar explores how to translate ambition into actionable strategies and measurable outcomes.

Key takeaways:

• Building the business case: Align ROI metrics, governance responsibilities, and pathways for predictive, generative, and agentic AI.
• Strategic portfolio alignment: Balance AI and non-AI initiatives, accelerate decision-making, and enable agile replanning.
• ESG and innovation impact: Ensure AI initiatives enhance ESG performance and build lasting innovation capability.

AI in action:

• Predictive AI: Investment & valuation forecasting, predictive maintenance, energy/carbon optimisation, tenant churn risk scoring.
• Generative AI: Automated marketing content, scenario design & fit-out options, document drafting (leases, HoTs, reports).
• Agentic AI: Autonomous building operations, tenant service agents, portfolio copilots for asset managers.

Sector-specific applications:

• Offices: Smart-building twins, utilisation analytics.
• Logistics: Predictive maintenance, yard optimisation.
• BTR/Student housing: Churn prediction, dynamic rent-setting.
• Social housing: Repairs triage, damp/mould detection.

Join us to discover how leading real estate organisations are turning AI vision into tangible value across investment, operations, tenant experience, and sustainability.

Once the strategy, mandate, and business case are in place, the real work begins: executing AI to deliver measurable value. This webinar explores the practical phase of AI implementation in real estate, covering project planning, team mobilisation, and benefits-driven delivery.
