Parking and Transportation Innovation: Fewer Cars to Park Equals More....

Salon A

Innovation

Major cities are already allowing and encouraging developers to build multifamily properties with low parking ratios or no parking at all. This translates into more net rentable square feet in the same footprint. At the same time, new transportation modes – such as docked and undocked bikes and scooters, and shared cars – are being born. They can also create amazing opportunities for residents to travel their first and last miles without a car for a couple of dollars per trip. This session will showcase available transportation modes, opportunities to connect them to a community, information on demand and utilization and help developers and owners in denser areas plan for alternative transportation aggregation that eases their parking burden and potentially give back space that can be used for storage, common areas, utilities and other value-increasing purposes.

Opening General Session: Unlocking Liquidity - An Emerging Application for Blockchain

Salon A

Innovation

Blockchain is an immutable, distributed ledger that lives in the cloud. Harbor is a company that is building a compliant platform for the automated creation, sale and remarketing of secondary market interests in commercial real estate securities. They create “security tokens” that represent shares in private securities.

The token is a standard protocol that ensures regulatory compliance, ownership information, the capital table and transferal restrictions are transparent and enforced. As secondary marketplaces emerge to trade these tokens, it seems likely that this will - for the first time - create easy, fast access to a market for buyers and sellers of secondary interests, without interaction with the deal sponsor.

We suspect that this technology company will be the first of several to provide ways to bring new investors and increased liquidity to real estate. We also suspect that over time this will increase the demand for real estate investments and unlock huge amounts of value for existing investors in private securities. Come learn for yourself and see if this innovation will enhance your ability to access a broader pool of investors in the next few years.

General Session: Short Stay and Corporate Housing Revenue

Salon A

Innovation

As predicted, REIT and other early adopters are gaining expertise in new options in renting multifamily units, at higher total rents than on a monthly basis. Names that you know are participating in a variety of short stay and corporate housing initiatives that drive incremental revenue. We’ll attempt to dive into how much, where and what the arbitrage opportunity is in select markets, as well as how to revenue-manage large block rentals by a single party. We’ll also ask participants to help us find data for analysis that can help drive the decision about whether to participate and better understand the activity levels in short stay markets that may currently be opaque to traditional multifamily operators.

Revenue Management and Marketing: Coordinating a Response to Softening Sub-Markets

Salon F

Revenue Management and Marketing

Explore examples of companies that have done the tough work of integrating revenue management and marketing functions. These companies treat demand as controllable and view their ability to drive yield differently from companies that look at revenue management as an exercise in recognizing static demand. With the ability to turn on and off granular marketing tools, there is also lead capture technology that increases the efficiency of marketing purchases. Dig into how to use those tools in softening markets to outperform average as well as find a strategy for using marketing as an offensive revenue driver.

Closing General Session: How Safe Are Your Assets? Identifying Vulnerabilities In Technology

Salon A

Dr. Charlie Miller reveals just how vulnerable your computer systems are, while making a passionate plea for consumers and companies to treat cybersecurity as a top priority. A former National Security Agency hacker, four-time winner of Pwn2Own, the “Super Bowl” of computer hacking, and the first to hack both iPhone and Android phones, Dr. Miller gained national attention after he and research partner Chris Valasek hacked a 2014 Jeep Cherokee and took control of the vehicle from more than 10 miles away.

A Principal Autonomous Vehicle Security Architect at Cruise Automation and the former head of the autonomous vehicle security division at Didi Chuxing, Dr. Miller focuses on society’s increasing connectivity and the opportunities it creates for harmful intrusions. He’ll provide detailed, behind-the-scenes journeys to illustrate how hackers exploit vulnerabilities and why corporations and governments should address cybersecurity before assets—or lives—are put at risk.
