SUMMARY:Bytes and Mortar – The evolution of property technology in the 
 real estate sector
DESCRIPTION:-- WEBINAR --\n\nInformation technology has transformed much 
 of our everyday lives. Many of us use applications and devices to perfor
 m many essential daily functions. Technology has changed how we connect 
 with friends and families, how we work, how we shop, travel, eat, learn,
  et cetera. Some say that the world of real estate, often referred to as
  “bricks and mortar”, has been relatively slower to adopt the use of
  information technology specifically created to enable the various aspec
 ts of real estate activity. This category is commonly known as “PropTe
 ch”. This webinar will feature three panelists who will represent pers
 pectives relating to building, managing, and supporting real estate with
  the use of PropTech.\n\n-----------------------------------------------
