RETHINK Office New York 2026, an Invite-Only Event, powered by GreenPearl

RETHINK Office is an invite-only event that brings leaders in corporate real estate, workplace strategy, facilities management and leasing transactions from corporate occupiers with large office footprints 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 next RETHINK Office will be held in New York City on Wednesday, March 18. 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. There is no public registration, and invitations are required to participate.

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 to a more in-depth solutions-focused conversation that is candid yet confidential.
