Realcomm IBcon, the commercial real estate industry's longest-running and most comprehensive technology conference, has 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, bringing together senior-level real estate executives and technology leaders to explore how emerging technologies are driving significant changes in the built environment.
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, the industry is at an inflection point unlike anything seen in 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," Young said. "That's what this year's theme is all about – helping leaders focus on what matters, adjust their strategies, and accelerate their organizations into this new era."
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. Howard Berger, Managing Partner and SVP of Programs at Realcomm, emphasized the significance of the theme: "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 highlights of the conference include its 28 years of industry leadership as the original commercial real estate technology event, a senior-level audience of decision-makers, curated programming focused on actionable insights, and year-round engagement through forums and advisory groups. The conference also features the 11th Annual Golf Outing at Torrey Pines Golf Course and a premier San Diego location. Berger noted that sponsors and exhibitors return year after year because they reach the decision-makers who control technology budgets and strategy. "In a year defined by the need to reset and accelerate, that access to senior leadership is more valuable than ever."
