2026 CoreNet Global Summit - North America

More than one in four US adults lives with a disability, and up to one in five people are neurodivergent. Yet most real estate leaders can't say how accessible, or how neuro-inclusive, their buildings really are. In this interactive session, Stephen Cluskey, CEO of Mobility Mojo, shares what breaking his neck at 18 taught him about buildings, and why visibility is the real challenge for global portfolios. He's then joined by Paul Morgan, COO of JLL, and Jessica Pernicone, Head of Solutions Development, Work Dynamics, JLL, to put the room through a live sensory challenge on your phone – testing your instincts on light, sound and layout – and to talk candidly about turning complexity into clarity.  
 

Energy costs and reliability concerns are forcing companies to rethink their real estate strategies. Across US cities, electricity costs are rising faster than inflation while grid capacity struggles to keep pace with demand – this is influencing everything from location decisions, to rents, lease renewals and valuations.  
 
Buildings are changing too. They used to be passive consumers of power. Now they generate, store, flex, and even sell power back to the grid. Buildings are no longer just locations, they’re becoming infrastructure.
 
The technology to act is mature and deployable today – including on-site generation, storage, demand response, and microgrids. The gap is organizational readiness: the talent, governance, and capital process to move at the speed technology allows.

Business priorities, workforce strategies, market conditions, and technology are changing faster than traditional real estate cycles — and for many organizations, that pace is accelerating. The result is a structural challenge: real estate commitments that extend years into the future, while business needs can shift in a matter of months. This session explores how leading organizations are building agility into their portfolios, governance models, and decision-making processes to keep real estate aligned with evolving business needs.

Through practical examples and real-world insights, panelists will discuss portfolio strategies, flexible lease and capital approaches, and governance and decision-making processes that help organizations manage long-term real estate commitments while staying responsive to shorter-term business needs. Attendees will learn how occupiers are bridging the gap between traditional real estate cycles and the pace of organizational change — enabling CRE to better support growth, workforce evolution, and business transformation.

Corporate real estate teams are being asked to put AI agents to work across the portfolio. The models are available to everyone. The advantage comes from what sits underneath them: portfolio data that is connected, current, and specific to your real estate decisions.

This session starts with the question occupiers face right now. If every organization can access the same AI, what separates the portfolios that capture value from the ones that stall? You will see what agents depend on, what that means commercially for your real estate strategy, and what to get ready first.

Then watch it work. A live walkthrough of JLL Falcon, the first category-scale AI platform in commercial real estate, takes one portfolio question from raw data to decision using Portfolio Navigator and Portfolio Analytics Tool.
