New: CREF Technology Council

Technology is rapidly reshaping the commercial real estate finance industry—and MBA is launching a new initiative to help members stay ahead of this transformation.

The CREF Technology Council is a new network for professionals focused on the evolving role of technology in CRE finance. Join us to exchange insights, explore innovative solutions, and help guide the industry’s tech adoption and integration efforts.

The council will meet two to three times annually, both in-person at events like the CREF Convention and Expo and the CREF Servicing and Technology Conference, and virtually for focused discussions.

Contact Kelli Burke to learn more about joining the CREF Technology Council.

As part of this initiative, MBA is also launching CREF Tech Talk, a virtual bi-monthly series designed to:
• Explore emerging trends like AI, automation, and data analytics
• Foster practical conversations around implementation and innovation
• Include both tech experts and professionals seeking to deepen their technical knowledge
• Feature member-driven content tailored to business needs

Register | CREF Tech Talk | Aug. 12 | 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM ET

Whether deeply involved in CRE finance technology or just starting to explore its impact, this is a valuable opportunity to stay informed, build connections, and help shape what’s next.
