Realcomm IBcon, the commercial real estate industry's longest-running and most comprehensive technology conference, recently announced the theme for its 28th annual event: "Tech REset, Now to Next: Focus. Adjust. Accelerate." The conference will take place June 2-4, 2026 in San Diego, California, where senior-level real estate executives and technology leaders will explore how emerging technologies are driving some of the biggest changes in the built environment's history.
Since its founding in 1998, Realcomm IBcon has maintained its position as the industry's most trusted forum for navigating technology transformation. The 2026 Tech REset theme reflects the unprecedented pace of innovation reshaping commercial real estate, from artificial intelligence and automation to data analytics and smart building systems. According to Jim Young, CEO and Founder of Realcomm, "We're at an inflection point unlike anything we've seen in our 28 years. The speed at which AI, automation, and emerging technologies are entering the marketplace requires the industry to reset how we think, plan, and execute."
Realcomm IBcon prioritizes curated, educational programming that delivers actionable insights for decision-makers navigating rapid technological change. The conference brings together CIOs, CTOs, and C-suite executives from the world's leading real estate organizations to explore how to harness emerging technology effectively. Howard Berger, Managing Partner and SVP of Programs at Realcomm, noted, "For nearly three decades, Realcomm IBcon has helped the industry navigate every major technology transition – from early building automation to cloud computing to today's AI revolution. The Tech REset theme acknowledges that we're not just adding new tools, we are fundamentally rethinking both our business models as well as how our buildings are designed, built, and operated."
Key conference highlights include 28 years of industry leadership as the original commercial real estate technology conference, a senior-level audience of CIOs, CTOs, and C-suite executives, curated programming focused on actionable insights, and year-round engagement through forums and advisory groups. The event also features the 11th Annual Golf Outing at Torrey Pines Golf Course and a premier San Diego location. According to Berger, "What sets Realcomm IBcon apart is the quality and seniority of the attendees. Sponsors and exhibitors return year after year because they know they're reaching the decision-makers who actually control technology budgets and strategy."
