A practitioner, not a futurist
Most AI keynote speakers cover real estate as one vertical among twenty. Topher spent 11 years inside commercial real estate, leveraging technology across marketing, leasing, operations & brokerage management before going full-time on AI training, consulting, and workshops built for the CRE industry.
Topher specializes in the practical application of AI & technology and shares his insights on the CRE AI Studio learning platform, in their weekly newsletter, and through in-person presentations at CRE conferences & team meetings across the country.
"He doesn't just explain what's possible. He shows how to take these tools from idea to implementation across our diverse departments."
