The program began with presentations from Patrice Derrington, the head of Columbia University’s real estate program, and Sam Chandan, the associate dean of NYU’s Schack Institute of Real Estate, on the industry’s adoption of technology.

By 7 p.m., speed networking kicked off with drinks, as tech startup founders swarmed developers with pitches.
