CoreNet Global Seattle Summit 2017

Educational Sessions Three of our subject matter experts – Sean Prasad, Bill Roberts, and Alex Spilger – presented on topics that drew quite the crowd. Academic Challenge We were a proud sponsor of this year’s Academic Challenge. The energy of the young leaders was refreshing – what great ideas they have. The global competition connects local chapters and members of the association with future talent and encourages more universities to include CRE in their curricula. Three teams were selected to compete for a grand prize of $5,000. Global Survey As the official polling sponsor, we were the only service provider to get stage time during the opening ceremony. This year, we focused on the much-talked- about disruptor – driverless vehicles. Steve Quick spoke at the opening session and urged attendees to take our poll. As he mentioned, driverless cars are coming and they’re coming fast!

We came, we saw, we conquered. The CoreNet Global Summit in Seattle was a total success for our firm! Keep reading to learn why.

Branding Our industrial-inspired booth style stood apart from our competitors and others. It was consistently packed with clients, friends, and colleagues. Our massive chalkboard backdrop designed live for visitors to watch was a show stopper. The booth included polling stations, corporate videos, seating areas, and delicious Cushman & Wakefield branded candy. It was the place to be. Events The Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP) hit capacity because so many people wanted to attend our Centennial Gala. Attendees were greeted by a massive 66 x 36 ft screen playing music videos – the DJ was incredible. Guests also had the opportunity to check out some of the exhibits including the David Bowie showcase. As usual, it was the most talked about event of the Summit and we made sure it lived up to its name.

Michael Casolo spoke at the closing session, where he presented key findings and raffled off a GoPro Hero 5.

We’ll be working with CoreNet Global to publish the full report including the EMEA and APAC findings later this year – stay tuned!
