Change has always been the one constant, but now we’re in a period of radical change for FM, real estate, and the workplace. This panel will look at the new frontier of the built environment from many perspectives – FM practitioners, workplace consultants, and industry partners — and why we must all be leaders who are not afraid to upskill, leverage tech, and “be comfortable being uncomfortable”. As we navigate through an uncertain future, remember to enjoy the ride and be a Workplace Innovator!
