- Suzanne Robinson of Vanderweil
- Kurt Roth of Fraunhofer

The event is designed to connect disruptive ideas with capital and commercial real estate professionals. Its these innovators and professionals who are disrupting the status quo by bringing the new ideas to market. Firms with products and services to exhibit are encouraged to join the event's trade show.
The goal is to be a catalyst of change by merging the professionals of the built environment with the technological innovation community. We expect hundreds of thought leaders from the Boston area to pack the new (LEED Certified) District Hall for an impressive gathering of minds.
The 4 disruptive panel topics to be addressed at the event include:
- Crowdfunding real estate projects
- The Cloud and how it has affected AEC
- Space Utilization and what the new companies of tomorrow require
- The USGBC MA-sponsored 'The Science of Buildings'
The 4 panels conclude with the unique segment “45 at 4:45”, where the disruptive exhibiting tech companies will have a rapid fire style 45 seconds to pitch their product. The conclusion of the event is highlighted by a casual cocktail and hors d’oeuvre networking and demonstration session between tech companies, VC’s, and real estate industry leaders.
