For over a decade, the Steers Luminaries Series has convened leaders of the industry to discuss how to navigate shifts in the real assets landscape. Today, that landscape faces more changes than ever as digital infrastructure, energy-intensive assets, and new capital demands reshape how investors think about real assets and long-term value creation.

For over a decade, the Steers Luminaries Series has convened leaders of the industry to discuss how to navigate shifts in the real assets landscape. Today, that landscape faces more changes than ever as digital infrastructure, energy-intensive assets, and new capital demands reshape how investors think about real assets and long-term value creation. Simultaneously with these new trends, the traditional real estate marketplace is experiencing a bounce-back as buyer and seller valuations converge after years of stagnation. Viewing these two movements in tandem, the industry landscape is the most complex and exciting it’s been in years.

This year’s luminary is Marc Ganzi (P’23), chief executive officer at DigitalBridge. Ganzi has been an investor and operator in the digital infrastructure sector for more than 30 years and has led DigitalBridge’s transformation to become a premier platform for digital infrastructure and real estate investment.
