Dror Poleg Keynote Topics
Artificial intelligence is moving faster than most management frameworks can absorb, and the corporate, career, and capital structures built for an earlier era are beginning to crack. In this keynote, Dror Poleg cuts through the noise to separate genuine structural change from temporary hype. He explains how AI is reshaping productivity, careers, and the value of expertise, and what leaders should be doing now to position their organizations for what comes next.
Built on the foundation of his acclaimed book, this keynote traces how technology has repeatedly remade the world's largest asset class. Dror Poleg explains how the meaning of location, productivity, and ownership is shifting under our feet, what zoning and regulation can and cannot do, and where the next decade of value will be created. Practical, evidence-rich, and useful for investors, developers, occupiers, and city leaders alike.
Cities have always been the operating system for economic activity. As AI reshapes who works where, how value is created, and which industries cluster, Dror Poleg examines the forces redefining urban life. He explores the implications for housing, infrastructure, talent migration, and policy, and asks which cities are positioning themselves to win the next wave of growth.
From the rise of co-working and short-term rentals to algorithmically priced hospitality and AI-powered investment platforms, a generation of disruptors has rewritten the rules of physical space. Dror Poleg takes audiences inside the trajectory of these companies, what worked, what failed, and what the next wave of real estate innovation will look like as AI, capital, and consumer expectations continue to evolve.
