Mark your calender for the "Fastighets IT 2010" event

The annual IT event focusing on the real estate industry, FastighetsIT 2010, is this year to be held on the 17th of March in Stockholm. (Unfortunately, then colliding with the MIPIM event in Cannes, France.)

The event is organised by SeminarDesign with the programme (PDF).

Focus

Being a one day event covering the topic "IT" for an entire industry one has to realise that the topics of the presentations are (unfortunately) to be all over the place. This event will cover everything from social media and "the cloud" to the status of the standardisation efforts regarding property data and property automation.

See coverage from the event previous years 2007, 2008 and 2009.

Speakers

The list of speakers includes;

Two business consultants; Rikard Lindberg (LinkedIn) from Meta Fastighetsadministration and Timo Murberger (LinkedIn) from Computence.

A famous trendforecaster in Bengt Wahlström (LinkedIn) from Trender.net.

Representatives from property companies in Johan Thorberg (LinkedIn) from Jernhusen and Alf Pettersson (LinkedIn) from Uppsalahem.

Solution providers in Peter Löfgren (LinkedIn, Twitter, blog) from Redpill Linpro, Anders Moberg  (LinkedIn) from CAD-Q Fastighet and Stefan Ledenstam from High Performance Systems.

Finally, Mårten Lindström (LinkedIn) from the standard initaitiv OpenBIM.

My thoughts

I'm delighted to see that there is interest enough in the market from both customers, suppliers, thought leaders and organisers to run an event like this. Hopefully, the event will have a positive energy (like last year).

IT in the real estate industry has a tendency to quickly focusing on property systems and automation. Sometimes I would like to also see focus on topics like marketing (trends in website creation & newsletters), sales (CRM) or just plain normal 'office IT' (mobile solutions, wiki and so on).

Unfortunately, I'll miss this years event since I will be down in Cannes focusing on the marketing side of the business.

Hi Magnus, glad you appreciated the previous "Fastighets IT" 2010.

I agree to "...IT in the real estate industry has a tendency to quickly focusing on property systems and automation...." in your blog.

I can promise you, we will do or best to link the more traditional "introvert" IT related topics in the Real Estate Industry with all that is necessary to enable Companies in Industry to interact with their customers and thus, become more extrovert.

It is already a highly competitive industry. As most companies are already reasonably efficient on the cost side, it is time to unfreeze the potential on the revenue side ;)

Give me a hint and maybe we can trade - your feedback from MIPIM with ours from Fastighets IT 2010! / T.M.

Looking forward to this year bringing tons of energy into all attendees, sending you off with all the enthusiasm needed to meet all your challenges!
IT IS all over the place, this is what maakes it interesting, and one of the major challenges! How do we catch it all and at the same time boil it down to something solid so that we can deliver added value across the entire business?
Looking forward to it! Good luck in Cannes, and see you in 2011.

hmm....I was having trouble even pronouncing its name correctly. Hope the IT sector really adds on to the real estate market over the internet
