The RETHINK OFFICE: BOSTON is an invite-only event that brings together leaders in corporate real estate, workplace strategy, facilities management and leasing transactions from Fortune 500 companies together with office building owners, investors and developers to better understand the current state and emerging trends in office space usage, demand, design, technology and more. The day consists of closed-door PeerPod private roundtables for select leadership peer groups in areas of corporate real estate and office building operations, investments and development, as well as an Industry Leader panel composed of leaders in corporate real estate and office building management. Food and beverage are provided. There is no public registration, and invitations are required to participate.
What is a Leadership Assembly?
The Leadership Assembly is an invite-only event. There is no public registration and everyone at the event has been specifically vetted and invited to participate. Press is excluded from participation. The result is a confidential, off-the-record opportunity to connect with fellow senior leaders around important issues impacting the industry today.
What is a PeerPod?
The PeerPod private roundtable is a closed-door, invite-only, off-the-record group conversation among a select group of handpicked executives. Led by a facilitator, each PeerPod session is 90 minutes allowing for a candid conversation among peers to share information, compare notes and generate ideas on industry challenges. Participants love the roundtables because they offer an opportunity to get beyond the public information shared on panels to a more in-depth solutions-focused conversation that is candid yet confidential.
