About the Program

The workplace has undergone a seismic shift in a world reshaped by the pandemic. The challenges we face today—employee disengagement, trauma-informed design, distributed work models, and the redefinition of culture—demand innovative solutions and bold leadership. This session, brought to you by CoreNet Midwest Chapter, MNCREW, BOMA Greater Minneapolis, Greater St. Paul BOMA, IREM Minnesota Chapter and IFMA Minneapolis/St. Paul Chapter, dives deep into the strategies of industry leaders like CBRE, GoDaddy, and Google to navigate these uncharted waters.  

Why This Event Matters  

The workplace is no longer just about furniture and square footage—it’s about creating human-centric environments that foster connection, reduce friction, and inspire productivity. As corporate real estate and facility management professionals, you are at the forefront of this transformation. This session will equip you with the insights and tools to lead through change, reimagine workspaces, and address your workforce’s emotional and psychological needs.
