    Webinar Summary:

    This webinar is focused on Proptech, a digital technology to assist in better communication, management of real estate and responsiveness of asset managers, owners and developers. A specialist panel session will bring together both Proptech experts and users of the technology to discuss how technology has helped customer communication and continuity of service in the current crisis and how it may assist in the ‘return to normal’ period and after that. The panel will develop the possible levers technology may have to enhance or improve business practices, and also the way to positively impact both processes and decision-making to ensure health and safety moving forward. A Q&A session will follow and panellists will answer audience questions.
