CREtech New York 2026 Launches TableTalks, a New Curated Roundtable Program Built for Real Conversation and Real Outcomes

New TableTalks bring peer-driven discussion, actionable insights, and face-to-face decision-making to the industry’s largest dealmaking event.

NEW YORK, NY — CREtech New York 2026, the leading real estate event where industry leaders connect, transact, and discover the future of AI face to face, today announced the launch of TableTalks, a new curated roundtable experience designed to turn conversation into action. Taking place October 21–22 at the Javits Center, TableTalks will run both days during the lunch hour and convene small peer groups for focused, interactive discussions on the most important issues shaping the future of real estate and the built world.

TableTalks are structured, moderated conversations designed for owners, developers, occupiers, and senior decision-makers. Each session brings together peers facing similar challenges to share insights, compare approaches, and leave with practical, actionable takeaways.

“TableTalks are built for leaders who want to engage, not spectate,” said the CREtech team. “This is where real conversations happen, and real decisions begin.”

How TableTalks Work

• Curated roundtables held both show days during the lunch hour
• Small peer groups organized by role, sector, and seniority
• Moderated discussions with clear themes and guiding questions
• Lunch provided for most ticket types to keep conversations uninterrupted
• No competing programming during TableTalks to concentrate on participation

CREtech maintains full editorial control over TableTalks themes and topic design to ensure relevance, objectivity, and real-world value. The program will be supported by a mix of facilitators, subject matter experts, and select sponsors, with CREtech partnering with leading industry associations to deepen expertise and elevate the discussion.
