WARREN, N.J. - nvtip -- Fifth Gen Media and The Connected Virtual Tech Event announced that wireless industry visionary Marc Ganzi will keynote at the Connected Virtual Tech Event on November 16^th and 17th 2020. Ganzi currently serves as  CEO of Colony Capital, Inc. and Co-Founder and CEO of Digital Colony. The event is being held in conjunction with The Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY) and the Proptech Challenge.

Ganzi will join Rich Berliner, CEO of Fifth Gen Media, and will focus on the challenges and opportunities facing the real estate sector as it seeks to solve critical issues facing property ownership today. Ganzi will offer his insights as a digital real estate expert and they will also discuss the intersection between digital and physical real estate.

"The crossover between the digital and physical real estate worlds will only continue to grow, and as new wireless technologies such as CBRS and 5G rollout, real estate operators must understand how to successfully integrate these into their business models," said Ganzi

The Connected Virtual Tech Event is a one-of-a-kind event and the Third in the Connected Virtual Tech Event Series is focused on exploring the challenges and opportunities facing Commercial Real Estate owners and the Enterprise. With the recent rollout of CBRS, Private LTE, Wi-Fi6, and the constant headlines around 5G, the choice of solutions and how they're funded is anything but clear. There are over 5 million commercial properties across the US and in the era where the availability of high-performance connectivity increasingly influences spend and lease behavior, less than 10% of these buildings have any kind of reliable wireless solution. This landscape is presenting new challenges while also introducing an opportunity for those that are informed and prepared.
