The Team Around the Table: A CRE Podcast

Show Notes

The British Council for Offices' (BCO) 2023 conference in Dublin will focus on the need for commercial real estate to become an active agent of technological, social, economic, and environmental change. The BCO’s Research Committee has identified four subject matter experts who will take a strategic look at each of these areas and reflect upon the impact these forces of change will have on real estate and the office sector.

Listen in as host Michael Creamer, Nigel Miller, leader of the Technology workstream, and Nick Axford, leader of the Economy workstream discuss the future economic role of cities and how technology can support change, while highlighting the need for real estate to demonstrate its social relevance.

The British Council for Offices was established in 1990 and is the primary forum that researches, develops and communicates best practice in all aspects of offices to shape the workplace of the future.
