The Realcomm Conference Group, a global leader in education and networking for commercial, corporate, and institutional real estate, has announced the inaugural Real Estate Cyber Summit, set to take place on November 6 at a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) hosted by COPT Defense Properties in the Washington, D.C. metro area. This one-day event is designed to address the escalating cybersecurity threats facing the real estate industry, particularly as smart buildings and critical infrastructure become more interconnected.
The summit will focus on the growing cyber challenges associated with IT and OT system integration, smart building operations, and enterprise automation. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from experts in real estate, cybersecurity, defense, and technology as they unpack the risks tied to these integrated systems. The program includes expert-led panels featuring leaders from multiple sectors, real-world case studies highlighting recent threats and breaches, and hands-on technical sessions exploring IT/OT integration and system vulnerabilities.
According to Jim Young, co-founder and CEO of Realcomm, the summit is not just another industry event. It brings together the smartest minds in real estate and cybersecurity to share strategies that could prevent the next major breach. Missing this event means missing critical insights and connections essential for protecting assets and organizations.

The event is particularly timely given the increasing frequency and sophistication of cyber attacks targeting the built environment. As buildings become smarter and more connected, the attack surface expands, exposing vulnerabilities in both information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) systems. The summit aims to provide attendees with actionable strategies to mitigate these risks and enhance their cybersecurity posture.
