Investing in Canadian CRE in 2026: How data and AI are changing the way decisions get made
May 28, 2026 | 1:00 PM ET
The pressure to adopt AI is significant. But in CRE, the data foundation has to come first.
A practitioner-led discussion on data quality, AI adoption, and investment decision-making in Canadian commercial real estate.
Bad data leads to bad decisions. And AI is only as good as the foundation it's built on. Tools that promise transformation but offer little transparency into how they work are adding risk, not reducing it. In a market moving faster than ever, fragmentation, opacity, and poor data governance are costly.
Join us alongside experts from Newmark and Centurion Asset Management for a candid discussion on what it actually takes to invest intelligently in Canada today.
We’ll cover:
Where the opportunities are in 2026 - what the broader market narrative is missing and what it takes to make confident investment decisions in the current climate
The real cost of bad data - how fragmentation across regions, asset classes, and sources is quietly eroding decision quality, and what better data hygiene actually looks like in practice
The AI due diligence gap - how practitioners are separating genuinely useful tools from ones that add risk, and what questions to ask before you trust a model with a decision
How AI is changing the work - from deal screening to asset management, where it's delivering, where human judgment still has to lead, and what it means for the teams and spaces businesses need
