RICS MUC Tech Series & Future Talk – Different Approaches to AI in Research
Outlook: On 7 May, the RICS Tech Series will launch as part of the Future Talks at Münchner Hyp.
The deep‑dive panel discussion will avoid AI marketing narratives, focusing instead on real‑world AI approaches to research – highlighting methodology, trade‑offs, and limitations.
The event will be moderated by Dominik Brunner.
On 30 April 2026, things will become strategic, technological, and highly engaging high above the rooftops of Frankfurt am Main. The industry will gather for the 5th gif Data Forum at FOUR Frankfurt, on the 53rd floor of Deka, offering a panoramic view of the city skyline. The newly developed working paper of the Data Management Competence Group, to which Betina and Dominik actively contributed, will be presented live for the first time. The presentation is embedded in a broader program exploring artificial intelligence in real estate valuation from a wide range of perspectives.
Look forward to high‑caliber keynotes from industry, valuation, digitalization, and regulation, as well as practical insights into current industry topics – ranging from market transparency and BIM to digital transformation.
The event will be moderated by Dominik Brunner.
