REAL ESTATE 2020: The Shape of Things to Come
Join leaders in the real estate, architecture and technology fields as they explore how the changes in the economy, emerging technology, sustainability and quality-of-life factors will impact the shape of our office environments in the years to come. Moderated by award-winning editor John Salustri, the panelists will discuss the evolution of workplaces; how the needs of corporate end-users are changing; how ongoing technological advancements impact—for better or worse—the interaction of people and places; what will define high-performance space; and in a post-terrorist world, what is the outlook for protection of our people and our places.
