Alexander Morari chairs the sessions where capital, not gadgets, is the subject. He reads every panellist before he takes the stage, and he can take a session cold when a moderator drops.
Method

How he works

Four formats, one way of preparing, and coverage after the session from the same team.

Format

Main stage

The headline session of a programme, chaired in front of the full room.

On the record. PropTech Connect Europe 2026, London: The Future for Real Estate Investment, chaired on the Arora Main Stage.

Format

Panel

Four to six seats, a spine of three questions, and the parked question brought back on stage.

On the record. PropTech Connect Europe 2026, London: a five-seat panel on the Arora Main Stage with Aberdeen, AEW, Barclays, REACH UK and PGIM.

Format

Fireside

One guest, one thread, and the audience gets the last twenty minutes.

On the record. Yes, We Cannes! 2026 Warsaw: a live Warsaw to Dubai fireside on operating the world's tallest tower and Poland's tallest, staged at Varso Tower.

Format

Conference section

A chair across several panels with one narrative running through them.

On the record. CEE Property Forum 2024, Vienna: three panels under one section, on SEE emerging markets, residential and PRS, and hotels.

Format

Short notice

A session taken cold when a moderator drops.

On the record. Twice: London, September 2025, and Dubai, February 2026, the second with roughly two hours' notice and no prepared questions.

Before the session

He reads every panellist's pre-call answers, writes the spine, and agrees the one question each panellist wants asked.

After the session

RealTimes covers the session, so the conversation on stage and the report of it come from one team.

Two stories from the stage

When the moderator dropped

Both step-ins are on the timeline below with their sources.
