Your Mission Brief for Realcomm 2026

Commercial real estate is entering territory where the old playbooks stop working. New markets. New asset classes. New operating pressures. An AI expectation accelerating, while the data underneath it stays fragmented.

The question at this year’s Realcomm is not whether to innovate – it is whether your data infrastructure will survive launch.

Cherre is at Realcomm June 2-4 in San Diego. Here’s what we’re bringing, who to hear from, and where to find us.

Your Flight Plan

  • Board the ship at Booth 225
  • Attend Tyler Christensen on AI governance (Tuesday, 1:15 PM)
  • Arrive early for RealTalk Unlock (Tuesday, 2:45 PM)
  • Catch L.D. Salmanson on AI readiness (Wednesday, 10:45 AM)
  • Ask about private room access and what’s happening inside Room 25A
  • Secure your Wednesday night VIP invitation
  • Support the Autism Society of San Diego

Here is what each stop on your flight plan looks like up close.


Step Inside

Most booths at a conference give you a brochure and a hard sale. Cherre’s booth asks you a question.

Booth 225 is a spaceship. Consoles. Screens. A command deck designed around one premise: every AI ambition in real estate lives or dies on the data architecture underneath it. The theme is outer space. The point is not.

Every element of this activation connects back to what Cherre builds. The intelligence layer linking your data to the decisions it needs to inform. Entity resolution running quietly in the background, reconciling what you see with what is true. A semantic layer giving structure to chaos before the first agent touches it.

The frontier is not one destination. It is wherever your next question takes you. Walk in with yours. Walk us through your data reality, and we’ll chart a path towards your next frontier.

The Sessions

Establishing a Comprehensive, Functional AI Governance Model

Tyler Christensen, Chief Growth Officer | Tuesday, June 2 | 1:15 – 2:00 PM

AI governance is not a compliance checkbox. It is an operational system. This session addresses accountability, model lifecycle management, and the human oversight structures determining whether AI stays useful or becomes a liability.

Ensuring Your Enterprise Is Ready for AI

L.D. Salmanson, CEO, Cherre | Thursday, June 4 | 10:45 – 11:30 AM

AI readiness is not a pilot project. It is an enterprise-wide infrastructure question. L.D. will cover the maturity model firms need to honestly assess: technical debt, governance gaps, ontology decisions, and the operational scaffolding separating AI experiments from AI at scale.

Before the Main Stage | RealTalk Unlock

Tuesday, June 2 | 2:45 – 4:15 PM

RealTalk is back at Realcomm. The conversations worth having before the main event starts. The industry has the talent, the ideas, and the ambition. RealTalk asks what becomes possible when we stop waiting for permission. When we rewire how we think about failure. When we hand the mic to people who have never had it.

This year, we take center stage during pre-conference programming. No crack-of-dawn Thursday wake-up call. Tuesday afternoon. Here’s the lineup:

Opening Remarks

Cecilia Li, Urban Edge

AI Unlocked

Real experiments. Honest outcomes. Three five-minute show-and-tell stories from practitioners who built something, learned something, and are willing to say what happened.

Moderators: Alireza Pourhashemi, BGO and Julie Miner, CBRE

Panelists: Soheil Pourhashemi, BRE Labs | EM Hinchey, Fisher Brothers

Unlock Aperitif

Tama Huang, Chief Strategy Officer, Cherre

Leadership Unlocked

Who gets to lead in an industry where the lines between physical buildings and digital systems are dissolving? This panel rethinks roles, rewrites job descriptions, and creates new on-ramps for the next generation of leaders.

Moderator: Lucy Briend, Hines

Panelists: Eileen Clifford, Yardi | Carla Hinson, MRI Software | Edi Demaj, Kode Labs

Mindset Unlocked

AI is no longer the constraint. Old operating models are. This session addresses what leaders need to unlearn to lead transformation when the technology is already ahead of the organization.

Moderator: Helane Stein, Brixmor

Panelists: Mandi Wedin, Feroce | Kim Scharf, Cubeline | Dale Johnson

Community Spotlight

Michael Castro, Development Director, Autism Society of San Diego

Networking kicks off immediately after with mocktails and a self-spiking station. Get there early. This session fills.

Off the Floor (Room 25A)

Some conversations need more depth and fewer distractions. We have a private meeting room off the show floor for the discussions the booth was not built for. The specifics of your data architecture. The governance questions no one asks on a panel. The operating reality behind the AI strategy deck.

Ask any team member at Booth 225 about access. We will take you to our leader (alien pun intended).

Wednesday Night

Wednesday, June 3 | 8 – 11 PM | Location Disclosed by Invitation

Some invitations are not public. The conversations happening behind closed doors all week, finally given a room that matches their weight. An evening to step away from the noise and connect over something worth remembering.

Find the Cherre team onsite or reach out to Keren Cordon to get your booklet and bypass the line. Personal invitation required.

Signal, Not Noise

We build worlds in this industry. We construct narratives, architect systems, and design experiences for people who walk into them and decide in seconds whether they belong.

World-building only matters if you never lose touch with the people those worlds are built to hold.

At the Cherre booth this year, we will weave sensory elements into the activation: busy boards, kinetic sand, noise-canceling headphones. Items making a conference floor, one of the most overstimulating environments you will walk into all year, a little more navigable for the people who experience it differently.

After the conference, every sensory item from our booth will be donated to the Autism Society of San Diego to support summer programming for individuals with autism and their families.
