Abintra’s Tony Booty and David Maddison are taking part in a roundtable event themed around the critical challenges of smart building implementation.

The event, organised by lawyers Penningtons Manches Cooper, brings together senior-level executives working in PropTech and the built environment.

The Smart Building Data Dilemma: Navigating Tenant Trust & Tech Integration in 2025
In 2025, the commercial real estate sector stands at a pivotal juncture. After all of the PropTech hype and ambitious data monetisation plans, stakeholders are now faced with the challenge of integrating smart building technologies effectively to deliver real value. From IoT sensors to AI-driven systems, innovation promises unprecedented efficiency and enhanced tenant experiences — yet the journey to smart building adoption remains complex and contentious.

Join us for our senior-level roundtable event bringing together key decision-makers from across the real estate and PropTech sectors. This intimate forum will facilitate open dialogue on the immediate and critical challenges of smart building implementation:

• Culture Clash or Collaboration: Traditional Real Estate vs. PropTech Disruption – Is PropTech a threat to long-held industry practices or a catalyst for evolution?
   
• Operational Integration: Exploring the practical realities of managing complex vendor ecosystems, standardising data protection practices, and aligning diverse technology platforms.
   
• Legal and Financial Implications: Structuring robust contracts, clearly defining data ownership and liability, and assessing how these elements affect asset value, due diligence, and risk management.

Gain insights from industry peers, share experiences, and explore solutions that balance innovation with responsibility, ultimately shaping strategic real estate decisions in 2025 and beyond.
