10 Fresh Perspectives to Fortify Your Workplace Response to COVID-19 Now On Demand

The workplace as we know it will never be the same. Amidst this catastrophic public health crisis, workplace experience, real estate and facilities leaders must now not only plan for re-entry, they must also re-imagine the workplace for a new, post-pandemic world.

With this in mind, this April we gathered some of the industry's leading minds to share ACTIONABLE, DATA DRIVEN and STRATEGIC approaches for optimizing real estate portfolios amidst massive uncertainty while, more importantly, ensuring the safety & wellness of employees. Throughout the 2 day Future Offices Spring digital conference, our speakers shared candid, real-time perspectives on how they're developing new, innovative solutions to unprecedented challenges as well as how this crisis could shape the CRE landscape for years to come.

Even if you couldn't make it to the event itself, we invite you to watch the sessions ON DEMAND (access links included in document).
