Realcomm IBcon, the commercial real estate industry's longest-running technology conference, has announced the theme for its 28th annual event: "Tech REset, Now to Next: Focus. Adjust. Accelerate." The conference, scheduled for June 2-4, 2026, in San Diego, California, will bring together senior-level real estate executives and technology leaders to examine how emerging technologies are driving historic changes in the built environment.
Since its founding in 1998, Realcomm IBcon has been a trusted forum for navigating technology transformation. The 2026 theme reflects the unprecedented pace of innovation, including artificial intelligence, automation, data analytics, and smart building systems. "We're at an inflection point unlike anything we've seen in our 28 years," said Jim Young, CEO and Founder of Realcomm. "The speed at which AI, automation, and emerging technologies are entering the marketplace requires the industry to reset how we think, plan, and execute."
The conference aims to provide actionable insights for decision-makers, focusing on curated educational programming rather than theory. It attracts CIOs, CTOs, and C-suite executives from leading real estate organizations. "For nearly three decades, Realcomm IBcon has helped the industry navigate every major technology transition," said Howard Berger, Managing Partner and SVP of Programs at Realcomm. "The Tech REset theme acknowledges that we are fundamentally rethinking business models and how buildings are designed, built, and operated."
Key highlights include 28 years of industry leadership, a senior-level audience, curated programming, year-round community engagement, the 11th Annual Golf Outing at Torrey Pines Golf Course, and a premier San Diego location. "Sponsors and exhibitors return year after year because they know they're reaching the decision-makers who control technology budgets and strategy," Berger added. Early bird registration is open until February 27, 2026, at www.realcomm.com.
