In May, the ORIL team attended a series of high-impact industry events across Europe and the U.S., engaging with global experts and decision-makers shaping the future of technology and real estate. These events offered valuable insights into emerging trends across IoT, AI, PropTech, and enterprise IT — all areas where ORIL actively delivers custom software solutions.
IoT Solutions World Congress – Barcelona
At the IoT Solutions World Congress in Barcelona, representatives from ORIL joined global leaders to explore the evolution of connected technologies and their role in driving digital transformation.
A few key takeaways from the event:
- IoT and AI convergence is enabling smarter infrastructure in sectors like smart buildings, energy, and logistics.
- Sustainability is no longer a side topic — it’s now central to discussions on product design and system architecture.
- Interoperability remains a technical barrier, but standards are starting to emerge that will improve integration across platforms.
Our team had the opportunity to discuss industry challenges and explore potential collaborations. These conversations reinforced the importance of flexible, scalable software architectures — a space where ORIL continues to invest and innovate.
MIT Sloan CIO Symposium – Cambridge
ORIL CEO Roman attended the MIT Sloan CIO Symposium, which focused on how IT leaders are driving business value in increasingly complex digital environments.
Key insights from the symposium included:
- Generative AI is moving from experimentation to implementation, particularly in knowledge work and enterprise automation.
- There is a growing demand for adaptive IT governance models that balance innovation speed with risk management.
Events like this are essential for aligning our development practices with the expectations and strategic goals of enterprise clients.
PropTech Symposium ’25 – Copenhagen
The PropTech Symposium ’25 in Copenhagen gathered over 300 industry professionals to discuss innovation in the real estate sector. ORIL was on the ground to connect with leaders driving change in the built environment.
Highlights from the event:
- AI-driven property management systems are gaining traction, particularly in predictive maintenance and tenant experience optimization.
- Data integration across real estate platforms is a common challenge — and a major opportunity for custom software.
- Sustainability remains a priority, with growing interest in solutions that support energy tracking and carbon footprint reduction.
ProductCon – New York
ORIL’s CEO attended ProductCon New York 2025, the largest product management conference organized by Product School. The event provided valuable insights into cutting-edge trends in product strategy, AI integration, and leadership at scale.
Key takeaways from the conference included:
- AI in product strategy is shifting from hype to long-term value, with a strong emphasis on building defensible moats.
- Product leadership is evolving, with growing focus on precision intervention — empowering teams without micromanaging.
- Cross-functional collaboration and adaptive product thinking are vital in volatile markets, as highlighted by leaders building in uncertain conditions.
Our team came away with a clear sense of where PropTech is heading — and how custom software can solve many of the real pain points currently facing the industry.
Conclusion
These events reinforced our belief that the pace of change in tech-enabled industries is accelerating — and that staying close to the conversation is critical to building relevant, future-proof solutions. At ORIL, we’re taking the insights from Barcelona, Boston, and Copenhagen and applying them to real-world software challenges across our client portfolio.
If you’re exploring digital transformation, let’s talk about how we can help.
