Martin Kelly | President | Blueprint | Creating the Blueprint for the future of real estate

In this episode, host David Abrams is in conversation with Martin Kelly, President of Blueprint: The Future of Real Estate. Martin shares his career journey. He initially aimed to become a barrister in England but ended up in the world of events and infrastructure investment. This path eventually brought him to the U.S., where he took over an events business in New York.

During the pandemic, Martin joined a firm that connected family offices, institutional investors, and alternative funds with investment opportunities through innovative technology. After that firm was acquired, Martin had the chance to join the Blueprint team as President, helping to elevate the event to new heights.

Martin shares his insights on how Blueprint stands out from other CRE events, emphasizing their focus on creating a unique experience—something we can totally relate to. He also hinted at some exciting new features for Blueprint participants.

One major topic at Blueprint will be space utilization, with numerous presenters and sessions offering insights from various industry sectors. If budget weren’t a constraint, Martin envisions continuing to enhance the Blueprint experience, providing more opportunities to explore and interact with products and services.

We also talk about the many stakeholders now involved in space utilization discussions, including the role cities can play. Blueprint aims to be a hub for all kinds of partnerships, and Martin and his team are committed to making that happen.
