The Real Estate AI Transformation Summit
BLANKSPACES Venice | Capacity: 500
Saturday, October 18, 2025 | 11:00 AM – 8:30 PM
Event Overview
Every transaction requires 5-7 disconnected systems. Deals that should close in minutes take weeks. AI hits a wall of fragmented data.
This summit is about the infrastructure layer that fixes it.
You'll see the problems killing deals today. Learn why 95% of AI projects fail—and the disciplined approach the 5% use to win. Watch live demos of apps already built on this new infrastructure.
Problem → Solution → Examples. That's the day.
The largest Real Estate AI event during LA Tech Week.
