During yesterday's Opening Keynote at #RealWorld2026, Realpage CEO Dirk Wakeham hosted a forward-looking conversation with Sean Leaver, Chief Business Officer; Lance French, Chief Information Officer; Zahir Khoja, Chief Fintech Officer; and Hari Subramanian, SVP & GM, Property & Renter Management, on the technologies and innovations reshaping the future of real estate.
A common theme emerged: technology should do more than streamline individual transactions. By connecting data, intelligence, and experiences across the resident journey, the industry has an opportunity to reduce friction, support better decisions, and create more meaningful outcomes for residents and operators alike.
From the growing role of AI to the evolution of financial intelligence and connected property operations, the discussion explored how innovation is helping improve the business of living and what's possible in the years ahead.
Thank you to the customers, partners and industry leaders who joined us for the conversation. #RW26
