      Head to the Sessions Tab for this conversation. More businesses are rethinking their use of office space and making the shift toward hybrid work arrangements for employees. As a result, landlords must view workplace relationships differently and make the shift from a lease-centric to tenant-centric approach. While the office may change and evolve into new configurations, it isn’t going away. Real estate occupiers will require specialist technology to manage the “new normal”, and landlords play an important role in serving the new needs of tenants. Attend this session to learn: How to manage workplace safety and security and give tenants more control over their environment Benefits of space scheduling tools to manage flexible workspace How using space management software can help tenants find the optimal setup for their needs How technology helps engage tenants and build strong relationships
