Commercial Real Estate Professionals Network Webinar - 6/25/2020

On June 25th I participated in a webinar with the Commercial Real Estate Professionals Network discussing the state of the art of virtual tours and virtual visits for commercial real estate. The event drew professionals from the Bay Area's CRE world, and we discussed a wide range of topics, including 360° photography, 3D photography, and documentation. I am working on some new concepts around my 3D philosophy for documenting a property as part of creating a virtual representation of the space to be used for marketing, as a visual and physical reference, and also as part of the property's digital archive which is something that many properties can benefit from long after the leasing cycle is over. I will be putting these thoughts into a future blog post or article, but it's been an exciting and eye-opening few months working with CRE and documenting their spaces for a variety of purposes. I am looking forward to expanding upon the services that we offer to CRE professionals, and it seems like in the post-COVID-19 world, we are going to need these services more than ever. I appreciated being a part of the panel and was joined by my esteemed colleagues Steven Donaldson of Radiant Brands, Anthony Shell of Avison Young, and Mike Hoppe of Geopogo. I am looking forward to continuing the exploration of this work and how it benefits CRE customers and I will post the YouTube video of the chat as soon as it's ready! -Emily Olman
