FM & Hybrid Office 2021

2021 is the first year of a new era. Our world has not only received a financial blow that can be remedied through various fiscal and monetary measures within reasonable time – this time, the foundations have been shaken, and pillars believed to be indestructible have been brought down. We are also seeing a spectacular structural transformation in the property market, with the occasional crisis thrown in. Just two years ago, the market and the world in general saw the upcoming huge changes and developments in digitalisation and technological advance, as well as in sustainability and environmental awareness, which were increasingly becoming a burden on society. Today, while all the above remain important, the focus is elsewhere. Real estate professionals are no longer scratching their heads over low vacancy rates or construction capacities; they are now concerned about the masses of people who may never wish to return to offices. But where will this lead? What will be the balanced solution?

Topics we will cover include the office market, facility and property management, sustainability, the struggle between old and new buildings, the extreme changes in tenants' requirements, sublease, planning, proptech, digitalisation, and liveable cities – in short, our future. This future will be written by domestic property professionals, including all those who help find solutions to these burning issues. 

Why you should attend
We need to meet, whether in person, which this vibrant profession based on networking has understandably been missing, or just online. We need to meet so that our common market can be built further by the professional insight of participants, and to offer an opportunity to learn new approaches or solutions from each other. The 2021 edition of our FM & Hybrid Office conference will aim to interpret past and present in an effort to paint a picture of the future in the most important segments of the property market. 

Join us in coming up with solutions to the operation and management of the office and property market of the future! Nobody else will do it for us! 

IMPORTANT NOTE: We care about our guests and care about safety!

Of course, we must keep in mind that we are living in the shadow of the coronavirus and will continue to do so not just this autumn but probably for the next year or two. As such, the Portfolio team is preparing not just a professional programme but also well-considered safety measures devised with the cooperation of experts.

We will take care of

• Konica Minolta IoT heat cameras at entrance to guarantee the highest safety and health of participants
• contactless, safe entry;
• suitable seating;
• online presentations by foreign speakers;
• a potential cap on the number of visitors;
• and other event management and safety solutions.

In addition, on-site services such as safe catering will be provided by the ultra-premium event locations we have been working with for years. Being part of recognised five-star franchises, these locations take extra care to ensure the safety of their guests as well as ours.
